Some of humanity's greatest achievements have been inspired by faith. Some of our greatest acts of compassion have come from people who believe deeply in God, while others have come from
those who don't believe at all. Across the world, billions of people pray, worship and draw strength from their spiritual beliefs, saying their faith gives them purpose, hope and a moral compass.
But millions of others argue that meaning isn't something handed down from heaven—it's something we create ourselves through love, family, kindness, science, philosophy, service and the relationships we build. So, can someone live a deeply meaningful, fulfilling and ethical life without believing in God? Does spirituality offer something unique that cannot be replaced, or are purpose and happiness ultimately human qualities that exist regardless of faith? Tonight, we ask one of life's oldest and most
profound questions: does believing in something beyond ourselves really change the way we live?
