The Value of Social Solidarity in a Community

Jettison: Why would that sense of belonging exist more strongly in a community that asks a lot of you in terms of sacrifice to be part of the community, compared to something like an atheist church that says anybody can come and anybody can go as they please? Jettison: I think it probably comes down to a sense of camaraderie, a sense of proving yourself to the people that matter. And if there's some kind of trauma might be too strong a term, but difficulty, you know, some labor involved in something you have to overcome in order to become part of this community. It has this sense of tying you together.
