The sheer infinity of the universe or the sublimity of nature inspire a sense of humility and awe. Wars and social injustices, on the other hand, leave us perplexed. How could a benevolent, omnipotent God allow such suffering? Answers to the seemingly inexplicable have always been sought in God, and evil has caused doubt in him. Is God perhaps merely a human projection? An expression of a desperate desire for meaning? In any case, faith serves as a guideline for moral action for many people, offers orientation, and is often a great productive force. However, conceptions of God and faith are in flux. The number of people without religious affiliation in Switzerland has been steadily increasing for decades. A third of the Swiss population identifies as atheist or agnostic, and around a quarter believe in an undefined higher power instead of God. Is God becoming obsolete? How far can natural science and philosophy be questioned, and where does God's domain begin? And: Does belief lead to greater happiness? These questions will be discussed at the House of Religions in Bern, moderated by Olivia Röllin, by Philipp Hübl, philosopher and atheist; Hans-Dieter Mutschler, theologian and philosopher; Kathrin Altwegg, astrophysicist; and Dorothea Franck, Buddhist. How far can natural science and philosophy go when questioning God? Where does God's domain begin?

That is our approach. We engage in social debates and in-depth conversations that entertain and inspire. Religion can be many things, and it reaches deep into the heart of society. From Zen meditation to church abuse of power, from football fan culture to the gender debate: We approach the broad field of religion, faith, and spirituality with critical distance. ____________________ Hosts: Olivia Röllin: Instagram: oliviaroellin Ahmad Milad Karimi: Instagram: donmiladkarimi ____________________ SRF's Social Media Netiquette: ► https://www.srf.ch/social-netiquette #SRFCulture #SRFCultureHighlights #SRFSternstunde #Religion #God #Faith #Atheism #SRF #Culture 💬 Do you have questions, suggestions, or feedback?
