The first instalment of the Discussions with Richard Dawkins series is a unique fly-on-the-wall opportunity to observe four of today’s leading religious critics.

On 30 September 2007, Professor Richard Dawkins (The God Delusion) brought together the best-selling authors Christopher Hitchens (God Is Not Great), Sam Harris (Letter to a Christian Nation, The End of Faith) and Daniel C. Dennett (Breaking the Spell) for an unmoderated two-hour discussion.

In this conversation the group trades stories of the public’s reaction to their recent books, their unexpected successes, criticisms and common misrepresentations. They discuss the tough questions about religion that face the world today, and propose new strategies for going forward.
