FUTURE OF RELIGION
RE: “I think religion…”
IMO religion as we understand it is dead except for the underclasses. And the underclasses are the greatest threat to civilization at present. So, we must find a non-false ‘religion’, and how to migrate from existing religions to it.
I think we know it. I am not sure it’s a universalist religion – any more than any other religion has been. Why? Religion = Group Strategy = Civilization = Race = Geography under agrarianism. All extant major civilizational religions are agrarian.
I’m not sure that post-agrarian religion will be all that similar to agrarian. I mean, marxism/leftism is just a reformation of Judaism. Secular humanism a reformation of Christianity. Islam hasn’t had its reformation. Nor have Hinduism or Buddhism. Naziism was the most modern european religion.
We haven’t really seen any equivalent of European Stoicism – I thought Peterson was heading there but his illness ended his ability to tolerate that project.
So that’s a huge intellectual project.
