Intriguing thesis - people who move away from religion still have a religious instinct which they invest in other equally weird beliefs.

Absolutely! We only think of it as a religious instinct because that was what it has been primarily mediated through for so long.

I didn't read it but I do think its not religion specifically so many of us are drawn to. But yes, I could be wrong. The meme picture?

Dawkins' explanation for religion. Some ideas just seem to scream 'copy me'. Religion is an information virus.

I don't think the two are mutually exclusive tho. We need both the tendency to believe in weird shit & weird shit to spread.

I hardly know anyone who believes in God now but so many people who believe in ghosts, mediums, psychics, conspiracy theories, pseudoscience
