Jesus As The End of The Religious Project?
–“… as far as I know, Brad is right “religion ended with jesus”. What we do next is closer to spiritualism, philosophy, and public ritual.”–

What does that mean?
I think he meant that he reduced it to the simplest form that achieves the desired purpose of religion as the production of mindfulness that solves the prisoners’ dilemma of cooperation and trust.
In that sense I believe he is correct. So if you take the very simple via-negativa of Natural Law and add the very simple via-positiva of the four gospels of jesus then you have the most reductive set of negativa and positiva possible.
In other words, logic is not justificationary, and truth requires falsification, so the criteria for truth is adversarial competition (darwinian selection so to speak) between a via negativa (what not to do) and a via positiva (what to do).
As such our solution to Natural Law and Jesus’ teaching (the jeffersonian bible) are the bookends necessary for a complete pursuit of truth and goodness – what remains is duty, excellence, and beauty. And that comes from ancient european aesthetics and philosophy.

Cheers.
