Margaret Atwood on the Hunger for God

March 1, 2013

In this 2006 Moyers Moment from Bill Moyers on Faith & Reason, author and “strict agnostic” Margaret Atwood discusses the hypothetical effects of removing God from human consciousness, and explains the difference between atheism and agnosticism.

“You can’t run an experiment on whether God exists or not,” Atwood tells Bill. “Therefore you can’t say anything about it as knowledge.”
