Closer to Truth brings together leading scientists, scholars and artists to debate the fundamental issues of our times.  A skeptic, a devout Muslim scientist, and an expert in the sociology of religion examine an intriguing paradox: as the world becomes more scientific, extreme religions are gaining ground. More people than ever before are devout as measured by the attendance in houses of worship. In the U.S. alone, on a percentage basis, three times more people attend a church, synagogue, temple, or mosque than did when the nation was founded. Joining Robert Kuhn are Muzzafar Iqbal Dounder, Center for Science and Islam; Donald Miller, Religious Scholar; and Michael Shermer, President of the Skeptics Society.
