Hello.
Today I wanted to talk about religion.
What a fun one.
What a fun topic.
I've been thinking about religion a lot recently, and today I just wanted to deep dive into it, not on a personal level, but on a society level.
I made an episode a while back about my own religious experience and journey, but I haven't really talked about religion on a society level, on a societal level yet.
And so that's what I want to do today.
But I must start by saying that I have no bias.
Okay.
I did not grow up religious.
I am nothing currently religious.
I'm not a part of any religion.
I will say, you know, I have my own kind of spiritual beliefs that keep me afloat, but I'm not married to a religion.
You know, I also have to mention that this conversation is based on my corner of the Internet, my corner of the world, what I'm seeing, and depending on where you live or what communities you're a part of on the Internet, you might have a very different experience.
And so I ask you to keep that in mind.
Let's start with the definition of religion.
What really is it?
Okay.
Religion is the belief in worship of a superhuman power or powers, especially a God or gods.
It's a particular system of faith in worship.
