Christian Apologist: The Truth About Christianity (And Why Atheism Is Fading)
"Peter Singer said, well, there goes my best objection to religion. People always stay in the religion in which they're brought up. When I next got a chance to speak, I said, Peter, I told the audience about my Christian background, but you said nothing about yours. Were your parents atheists? He said, they were. Oh, I said, then you remained in the faith in which you were brought up."
During a debate with philosopher Peter Singer, Lennox countered the common atheist criticism that religious belief is merely cultural inheritance by pointing out that Singer himself had inherited atheism from his atheist parents. Lennox argued that the statistical tendency to remain in one's birth worldview applies equally to atheists and believers, undermining the force of this objection to religion.
