  He has actually started his own version of what the article talks about. It's called The School of Life. People get together in a church-like setting, listen to sermons and sing. It's quite interesting and I'd definitely go if they had one in the Bay Area. I think it provides a really interesting answer to the problem: "If we don't have God to talk about, then what the hello are we doing here?". Their answer is to focus on how to live better lives and they tackle the problem in a way that's very smart and contemporary. http://www.theschooloflife.com/london/ http://www.theschooloflife.com/london/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFnNgTSkHPM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFnNgTSkHPM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46YQ09Q3FNk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46YQ09Q3FNk

  The recurrence is a real key to something like this. Without that, I think laziness steps in and no one organises or attends.
