--------------------------VIDEO NOTES--------------------------

Ben Shapiro believes that atheism is a delusion, and I paid for a Daily Wire Plus membership to find out why. Blitzing through arguments from reason, morality, free will, change, fine-tuning, consciousness, and biology, Ben takes us on a whistle-stop tour of philosophy, which I've tried to break down and respond to in today's video.
