Over at the TLS, Phillip Goff has a lengthy go at justifying the practice of religion without believing in it.
It's an interesting argument, perhaps put better here than I have read previously. Not sure I'm convinced.
In the meantime, I'm developing my own religion based on some combination of the moral sensibilities of To Kill a Mockingbird, the sense of awe from the films of Steven Spielberg, and the all powerful, all seeing knowledge of Google as the forerunner of the Tiplerian/de Chardin-ian Omega Point. That last bit explains why it will be crucial for my congregation to use Android, not Apple.
But what heresy is this, with Spielberg appearing in support of Apple yesterday? My belief system is being tested already....
