In this thought-provoking debut of the Common-X Debate Series, we tackle one of the most enduring—and divisive—questions of our time:
Do humans need religion, or would we be better off without it?

Guests Caleb Collier and Mark Pitt face off in a dynamic discussion that dives into the moral, cultural, and social impact of religious belief. With the world increasingly divided by ethical differences, can religious teachings on compassion, charity, and justice still offer a unifying moral compass? Or have institutionalized religions outlived their purpose in an evolving, secular society?

From ancient scriptures to modern movements, this debate challenges assumptions, exposes contradictions, and seeks to answer:
Is religion the foundation of human ethics—or a barrier to true progress?
