Is it possible to have faith without God?

The World

Can you have faith but not believe in God? There are a growing number of atheists who declare themselves “faithful,” but not all religious leaders think their belief system makes sense. On the final day of our week-long series on Faith In America, we feature a debate between humanist chaplain Greg Epstein, author of “Good Without God: What a Billion Nonreligious People Do Believe,” and conservative pastor Douglas Wilson.
