In this book based on talks delivered at Facebook and Google, he explains why religion at its best opens up the searching mind, and how we all--believer and unbeliever alike--can share better discussions about God.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Learn\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis hardcover edition provides practical guidance on engaging in religious discourse that is both intellectually rigorous and respectful.
