“A very interesting debate. Ayaan Hirsi Ali is a fascinating person, newly professing faith in Christ, after formerly advocating atheism, along with Richard Dawkins. In this debate, she takes on Dawkins and shows the moral emptiness of Dawkins’ position.” - Don Johnson
“During a lively discussion with evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins on Saturday, Ali elaborated on her transformation, revealing that her past belief — that religions were uniformly destructive — was misguided.” - Christian Post
“Though Dawkins has spoken of his “cultural Christianity” before, this feels like another staging-post on a journey towards the good Professor finally admitting that the New Atheism, of which he was such a shining light, was wrong in crucial respects.” - The Telegraph

“Dawkins has spent his life fighting against God (the God he doesn’t believe even exists). But he still recognizes that atheism (the worldview religion of Richard Dawkins) doesn’t provide the foundation for morality that is needed to keep people from doing ‘really bad things.’” - AiG
