Tony Blair vs. Christopher Hitchens on Religion

Munk Debate: Tony Blair vs. Christopher Hitchens. November 26, 2010 at 7pm at Roy Thomson Hall, Toronto.

In a world of globalization and rapid social change does religion provide the common values and ethical foundations that diverse societies need to thrive in the 21st century?  Or, do deeply held religious beliefs promote intolerance, exacerbate ethnic divisions, and impede social progress in developing and developed nations alike? To encourage a far-ranging discussion on one of human kind’s most vexing questions, the 6th semi-annual Munk Debate will tackle the resolution: be it resolved, religion is a force for good in the world.
