Clearer Thinking with Spencer Greenberg
The Universal Need for Spirituality
I think of religion as what happens when spirituality gets sort of honed into something very mimetically powerful. I suspect that if you took a hundred modern atheists and put them in the woods and had them like rebuild civilization that sort of some new spirituality would eventually arise. Yeah, me too. I have no desire at all to be spiritual. But I often joke that I'm religious but not spiritual because I enjoy going to Zoroastrianism for its historical and cultural association with my family. Nevertheless, I would push that button. If I could push a button and there would be no more belief in God or gods that would just not be a thing that humans do ever again.
