The Weakness of the Secular World Picture

There's a lot more experimentation with sort of quasi religious quasi spiritual practices than maybe was the case of people who thought of themselves as secular. And so I think what's happening there is that you can see some of the weakness of the secular world picture. There's a certain kind of energy and yearning and desire for something that can partially be answered in political passion and political crusades, but also seeks an answer in spiritual forays and experiments that are sort of half ironic, but also half sincere.
