Real Time with Bill Maher (and Sam Harris)
- Bill Maher: How did you get to that place? Because most people are raised religiously. How did you get to where you are, and what advice would you give to kids today who wanna break into atheism?
- Sam Harris: Well, I started there, and that's kind of the point.
- Bill Maher: You did?
- Sam Harris: Yeah, unless you're indoctrinated at some point early on -- it's kind of like smoking -- you tend not to pick it up later in life.
- Bill Maher: As a child, you were an atheist?
- Sam Harris: Atheism has no content. Being an atheist is like being a non-astrologer. No one gets taught to be a non-astrologer. You just don't get convinced by astrology.
