I think the loss of religion is partly to blame for that. How does one compensate for that?

- dr_dshiv 8y agoDesign new religions. How hard could it be, if it wasn't taboo?
- dragonwriter 8y agoDesigning them is easy, getting hem broadly socially accepted is harder.
- zarkov99 8y agoReligion did provide that, but not without its pathologies. It should be possible to get the positives without buying in to the whole thing.
- jjeaff 8y agoGet some religion perhaps? There are so many variants that one would have to be awefully close minded to lot be able to find one they can relate to. You don't have to be an all in orthodox believer to participate in a faith based group.

No, but it's tough to find one that doesn't require either believing in supernatural entities or lying about that belief in order to remain welcome, and I can't convince myself to do either of those things.
- jjeaff 8y agoI doubt that. You can walk into many modern churches and tell them that you're not a believer but you want to be a part of their community and they will welcome you with open arms if you are kind and wish to contribute in a positive way. We have a few spouses at the church that I am a member of that are not members and don't wish to become one. But they attend and participate like everyone else and they are welcome just the same.
