Episode Synopsis

On this week's episode, Ryan delves into the relationship between Christianity and conspiracy theories and religion and delusional thinking. Although Ryan does not believe that there is a necessary connection between faith and delusion, he does think that there are some reasons why religious people have a tendency to accept conspiracy theories."I believe in the classical and ecumenical truths of Christianity. I believe that these truths are good, that Christianity is truly good news. But these kinds of delusional and fanatical attitudes, behaviors, and mindsets make it more difficult to see, to recognize, the good news of the faith passed down."About Ryan, Host of Thinker Sensitive:Ryan Ragozine is the host of Thinker Sensitive.
