Summary

Dave Rubin of The Rubin Report talks to Sohrab Ahmari, the author of “The Unbroken Thread,” about how public health authorities used scientism instead of science to justify their COVID-19 policies, how reason led him from atheism to religion, and how social justice has become the new religion of the West. Sohrab first discusses the importance of tradition and having a sense of purpose. He warns against the mindset of politicians like AOC who use climate change to advocate for not bringing children into this world. He also discusses the limits of science and the importance of observing the Sabbath as a day of rest in the modern world. Sohrab warns that if God is not in the public square, new gods and perhaps a new religion will take His place. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
