I've never been impressed by Atkins. But I might watch the video just to see him get trounced by a deep and knowledgeable thinker like McLatchie [as he did against W.L. Craig on at least two occasions].
Speaking of debates, I recently found these two dialogues very enjoyable:
I don't think/know Holland is a Christian [or theist], but as a historian he changed his mind and now does think that much of our modern sense of ethics comes from the Christian tradition. Influenced, of course, from earlier traditions [e.g. Romans, Greeks]. With regard to his ethics, he calls himself "Christian" rather than "Roman" or "Grecian".
