Video summary
Do you believe in God? This irreverent animation introduces the topics of Atheism and Humanism.
Atheists are described as people who do not need religious explanations or the promise of an afterlife to see value in the human experience.
Exploring whether this way of thinking could be considered a faith in itself, the short film clarifies that lacking religious beliefs is not the same as lacking morals.
This is from the series: A-Z of Religion and Beliefs
