BILL MOYERS ON FAITH & REASON

On this week's Bill Moyers on Faith & Reason, writers Margaret Atwood and Martin Amis show how the imagination of the creative mind can help cross the boundaries between faith and reason and see the best and worst of human possibilities. Atwood's most famous novel, THE HANDMAID'S TALE, depicts a democracy transformed into a theocracy of God-quoting true believers who strip women of their rights. In a recent piece for THE NEW YORKER, Martin Amis imagines the last days of Muhammad Atta, the leader of the suicide bombers on 9/11. Bill Moyers explores how these two confessed agnostics come to grips with a world immersed in belief.
