Essays like this make me glad I'm an aspie. We seem quite content not to worship anything. That does leave us with meaningless lives of quiet despair, but it still kinda seems better to us than what the neurotypicals have going on.
Good piece. You actually can’t do science or reason without God. Why is the universe ordered by precise mathematical equations, how do you get something from nothing, why do we have a moral sense, why do we seek truth, justice and beauty? There has to be a transcendent non-material mind that is the ground of these transcendent values

That’s because the supernatural shit is true, but not in a simplistic, fundamentalist way.
That’s the axiomatic presupposition that would have to fall away.
interesting piece - hadn’t thought of politics being the new religion
