Whether atheism or an undefined "higher power": the European religious landscape is changing. Reason enough to discuss the existence of God in the House of Religions in Bern. Topics in this episode: 00:00 Where is the benevolent God in the face of earthquakes and other disasters? 14:11 Faith & Science: Do sciences only need the "how" and not the "why"? 20:04 Has God become obsolete as a concept? 26:12 Why turn to Tibetan Buddhism? 30:16 Religion makes you more resilient: Do you live better as a believer? 38:10 Can God be proven? ????

The sheer infinity of the universe or the grandeur of nature, they defy a feeling of humility and awe. Wars and social injustice, on the other hand, leave one perplexed. How could a benevolent, all-powerful God allow such suffering? People have always sought answers to the seemingly inexplicable in God, and doubted him because of evil. Is God perhaps just a human projection? An expression of a desperate desire for meaning? In any case, faith serves many people as a guideline for moral action, offers orientation and is often a great productive force. However, ideas about God and faith are changing. The number of people without religious affiliation has been rising steadily across Switzerland for decades. A third of the Swiss population describes themselves as atheists or agnostics and around a quarter believe in an undefined higher power instead of God. Is God a dying breed? To what extent can we examine natural sciences and philosophy, where does God's domain begin? And: are people happier if they believe? Philipp Hübl, philosopher and atheist, Hans-Dieter Mutschler, theologian and philosopher, Kathrin Altwegg, astrophysicist, and Dorothea Franck, Buddhist, will discuss this topic at the House of Religions in Bern under the direction of Olivia Röllin.

That is our approach. We conduct social debates and profound conversations that entertain and inspire. Religion can be many things and it reaches deep into the middle of society. From Zen meditation to the abuse of power in the church, from football fan cults to the gender debate: we approach the broad subject area of ​​religion, faith and spirituality with critical distance. ____________________ Moderation: Olivia Röllin: / oliviaroellin Ahmad Milad Karimi: / donmiladkarimi ____________________ Social Media Netiquette from SRF: ► https://www.srf.ch/social-netiquette #SRFKultur #SRFKulturSternstunden #SRFSternstunde #Religion #god #faith #atheism #SRF #Culture
