From Michael Whiteford

I was profoundly disappointed that during the interview with philosopher Jamie Whyte you let him characterise religious faith as “belief in something more than we have a good reason to believe in”, and yet didn’t pick him up on what the good reasons are to believe in his speciality: truth. Perhaps a little study of another slippery concept is in order: that of justice.
