Even though churches are becoming increasingly empty, many people still crowd into the pews for weddings, funerals and Christmas. And it turns out that despite the countless people leaving the church, people are no less believing. However, they believe in something other than an all-good and all-knowing Father who sits on his throne in heaven. Theology professor and religious philosopher Hartmut von Sass explores a belief that does not require a God. For him, to believe means to relate to the world in a certain way. But what remains of the Christian faith when God the Father no longer exists? Can an atheistic belief be sustainable? Barbara Bleisch speaks with Hartmut von Sass.
