Pt 2: What Can Atheists Learn from Religion? | Alain de Botton

Oct 22, 2024
26:09

In part 2, Alain de Botton and Dr Alex George discuss religion, and what parts you can use to improve your life without having to believe.


Alain explains how organised religion educates people on morals and ethics, what it means to practise something “religiously” and the lost connection between philosophy and fashion.


Plus, Alain explains the psychological benefits of art therapy, exercises you can practise today and why he doesn’t believe in the word “Expert”.
