Too bad I didn't see this before I posted a link to the Hitchens article. Hitchens and Wilson on their press tour plugging the Collision documentary
Here's Fox and Friends (you have to sit through their other segments first):
And you can listen to Ingraham here.

Re: the Ingraham segment:
For the record, not even religious songs makes Dylan's voice palatable to me.
"the kinds of things [i.e., social justice ministries] that have been inspired uniquely by the Christian faith ... or certain, close variants … of it." Yeah, right. I hear Wilson loud and clear.
Wilson comes close to giving the impression that he really isn't interested in trying to make a case. Hitchens is a patient man. Wilson is polite and so says very little.
Ingraham seems very poorly prepared. What's the downside of Pascal's wager? Good grief - does her practice of the faith cost her nothing? The idea must be that if a non-believer takes the wager, God will show up.
It would be refreshing if, when Ingraham's says Chris Matthews (is it?) has "spoken like a true Catholic," she was referencing the line by Janeane Garofalo's character in Smith's Dogma … but that seems impossible.
Hitchens is great: I'd never heard the suggestion that Christianity is immoral. Quite an original though that.
