Religion for Radicals: An Interview with Terry Eagleton

20.09.09, Nathan Schneider, for MRZINE (UK). Literary critic Terry Eagleton discusses his new book, Reason, Faith, and Revolution: Reflections on the God Debate, which argues that "new atheists" like Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens "buy their rejection of religion on the cheap." He believes that, in these controversies, politics has been an unacknowledged elephant in the room.
