Many years ago, when I worked with Forbes India, as part of an anniversary special, we commissioned an essay by Alain de Botton on a ‘religion for atheists’ (he has of course written and spoken about this extensively elsewhere). https://www.forbesindia.com/article/ideas-to-change-the-world/alain-de-botton-a-religion-for-atheists/13532/1
I just came across this. https://theconversation.com/church-without-god-how-secular-congregations-fill-a-need-for-some-nonreligious-americans-215749 I resonate with the thought. After beginning my walk away from Christianity in my teens and twenties, and all religion some time after, there have been many times I missed some of the peripheral things about religion. The sense of community, the places of contemplative silence, the art, the music. What do you folk — believers or otherwise — think? ~ peter
