How is it that two reasoned minds can come to such different conclusions on faith? Provocative authors Mary Gordon and Colin McGinn bring their views on religion to this week’s Bill Moyers on Faith & Reason. Gordon, the well-known American writer, brings her viewpoint as a Christian. “I like a religious perspective,” she says. “It seems to create a language that explains more things about human beings than other languages do.” McGinn, a philosopher, who talks about his own journey from belief to disbelief, sees the world differently. “I think there’s too much tolerance of faith, and there’s not enough respect for reason,” he says. “For the last 30 to 50 years reason has been under attack.”
