Hear one of Australia's most widely respected authors, social researcher Hugh Mackay talk about his new book, Beyond Belief: How we find meaning, with or without religion. At a time when 61 percent of Australians still identify as Christian but only 8 percent attend church weekly, Mackay tackles one of the big questions about contemporary Australia: how do we find our sense of meaning and purpose when religious faith and practice are in such sharp decline? He draws on research suggesting that our quest for a meaningful life depends on believing in something 'greater than ourselves' and explores what that 'something' might be for today's Australians.
