About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
Known as the ‘four horsemen’ of New Atheism, these four big thinkers of the twenty-first century met only once. Their electrifying examination of ideas on this remarkable occasion was intense and wide-ranging. Everything that was said as they agreed and disagreed with one another, interrogated ideas and exchanged insights – about religion and atheism, science and sense – speaks with urgency to our present age.
Questions they asked of each other included: ‘Is it ever possible to win a war of ideas? Is spirituality the preserve of the religious? Are there any truths you would rather not know? Would you want to see the end of faith?’
The dialogue was recorded, and is now transcribed and presented here with new introductions from the surviving three horsemen.
With a sparkling introduction from Stephen Fry, it makes essential reading for all their admirers and for anyone interested in exploring the tensions between faith and reason.

Intelligent discussion
What a joy it was to listen to the fantastic views expressed here. While I have read or heard Dawkins, Harris and Hitchens on their own, this conversation was a real treat. Intelligent and rational discussions and such a privilege to listen to this discussion. Wish it were longer though!

Short and powerful!
The conversation is incredibly thought provoking and was a pleasure to listen to. The introductory remarks and foreword by the authors and Stephen Fry were like cherry on top of the cake. Overall a must read, listen and/or watch conversation!

Tequila for the soul
A delightful opening by Stephen Fry. A vibrant, colorful discussion with my agreements and disagreements, extending but not limited to religion, Islam, morality, determinism, quantum physics and other mysteries of the universe.
Caution: This isn't for the casual listener. Each of the horseman have different approaches to a problem and it helps to know something from their backgrounds

mind bending debate
a superb debate to understand all current social vices which stem from utter belief without any reason.

Thought Provoking
A good book to understand their point of view on monotheism and religion in general.
If you wish to just listen to their conversation it is available on YouTube.
This audiobook contains a bit more content. There is a foreword by Stephen Fry. There are three more inciteful peices by Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett and Sam Harris.
Hitchens is not with us now but listening to him speak is always a delight.
All in all its a must for all trying to understand their stand against religion, as atheists.

Typical “elite” discussion
Four horsemen riding similar horses looking for answers, that’s great but believing that no other animals can be trained & used for riding to look for answers ,not great .
