Summary
In this clip from Insights at the Edge , Tami asks Rainn Wilson — Emmy-nominated actor, author of Soul Boom , and devoted Bahá'í — why he never became an atheist. His answer moves from humor to philosophy to genuine vulnerability, landing on an idea that surprised even him: that "the Great Mystery" might be enough. A rare, honest conversation about faith from someone who had every reason to stay quiet about it.
