It's the most popular religion on earth. But are its claims easily refuted, dismantled and debunked?

In this episode, we talk to John W. Loftus, a former minister and Christian educator. A prolific speaker, author and blogger, Loftus speaks about his own journey out of faith and what he feels are effective ways to debunk Christianity.
