The cold wind blows. The long winter night creeps in. What better way to chase away the winter doldrums than an evening of ideas, discussion, and good cheer?

When: Tuesday, December 1, 7 p.m.

Where: Mavor's, Confederation Centre of the Arts

Who: Dr. Joe Velaidum, Chair of the Department of Religious Studies, Director of the Centre for Christianity in Culture

Discussion: 'The same old arguments of the new atheism movement'

Velaidum says the problem with the proponents of this new brand of atheism, made popular by best-selling authors such as Richard Dawkins("The God Delusion"), is that they 'don't understand religion. They don't understand faith, or Christianity. They even misunderstand science.' But what role does religion play in modern society -- something to think about as Christmas draws near, 'a holiday that's had most of its religious themes stripped away.'
