New Religions with Antonio Garcia Martinez

Religion us not really ablut deities. Religion is about interpreting the world through myth, rituals and folklore. As opposed to data, experimentation and rarionalism.

Religion imposes a narrative structure to the world as opposed to the scientific approach. This also explains why the religious impulse is so universal.

Orthodox Religions like Catholicism focus on belief and the manifestation of that belief. You have to șah the right words, pray and so forth.

Orthopractic Religions like Judaism are much more focus on acting a certain way. How you act is more important than what you say.

Clearly the first are much more popular than the second. Because talking is cheaper.
