How To Fail With Elizabeth Day

CHAPTER

A Book of Secrets - The Mythology of Faith Healing and Psychics

i find the faith very interesting in how you write about it and what you say about it. You grew up an evangelical christian and you are now an atheist, but in a book of secrets, you talk about how the myths can be important around religion for making sense of life. I was a believer for most of my life, and then around sort of university time, i came out of it. And as time's gone on, although i'm still an atheist, i don't believe in any bit, but i think i can certainly appreciate the value of certain aspects of it. The experience of having meaning is vital. It certainly trumps happiness.
