Atheist vs. Christian vs. Spiritual Thinker: Is Not Believing in God Causing More Harm Than Good?! (Video)
In this 29 September 2025 published video, host Steven Bartlett talks with guests Greg Koukl (Christian), Alex O’Connor (atheist), and Dr K (psychiatrist) who explore why so many feel lost, whether God is the answer, how death anxiety drives our search for meaning, and how you can find direction today.
This isn’t just a discussion. It’s a confrontation with life’s hardest challenge: finding meaning, and how faith, reason, and spirituality compete to fill the void.
Greg Koukl is a Christian apologist, speaker, and founder of Stand to Reason, Alex O’Connor is a philosopher, writer, and host of the Cosmic Skeptic channel, and Dr K, is a Harvard-trained psychiatrist, mental health educator, and co-founder of Healthy Gamer.
Together, they discuss:
- If God gave you a purpose…what does that actually mean?
- Why “do what makes you happy” is terrible advice for finding meaning
- How comfort is quietly killing your sense of purpose
- The shocking truth about modern loneliness and identity loss
- The “paperclip problem” that exposes religion
