    Just got commissioned to do a longform piece (first time with this pub, which will 'out' me somewhat...stay tuned) on the rise of secular reincarnations of religious concepts. Any thoughts or references appreciated.https://twitter.com/antoniogm/status/1026909489000153088 …

    The value of a religious upbringing nowadays is recognizing the tropes and symbols of Western religiosity in secular guise, embodied by people who consider themselves above such myths. 'white privilege'->Catholic original sin 'the Singularity'->the Protestant Rapture etc.

        Reading John Gray's excellent book cataloging the various 'atheisms'. Quite the antidote to the New Atheism, and highlights the surprising ways secular humanism originated in religion (though it would claim otherwise). Anything else?https://www.theguardian.com/books/2018/apr/15/seven-types-of-atheism-john-gray-review-richard-harries …

        Definitely Schmittian. Our institutions and political culture are mapped entirely onto the structures of Western theology.

        He’s noted for saying that all modern political concepts are secularized theological concepts. Fairly influential with the Straussians and also Frankfurt School. Also a Nazi. But so was Heidegger.

        Dadgumit, This was supposed to be a magazine commission, not a PhD thesis. My reading pile is now a couple feet tall.

        I think it might end up recycled as a chapter in book two anyhow, so I'll take on the reading list. Like the Israelites, looks like Moses took too long dilly-dallying on the mountain, and we've forged our own golden calf, mostly out of boredom.

        @Vermeullarmine’s Liturgy of Liberalism in @firstthingsmag is very good: https://www.firstthings.com/article/2017/01/liturgy-of-liberalism …. Mary Eberstadt’s “The Zealous Faith of Secularism” is also very good. https://www.firstthings.com/article/2018/01/the-zealous-faith-of-secularism … @harari_yuval also makes a similar point in Homo Deus regarding “secular” Humanism.

        John Gray pretty much literally wrote the book(s) on secular humanism unwittingly smuggling Christian concepts into its program.

        Yeah, just posted about reading his new book. It's really good. Wonder what a Sam Harris would say about it.

        Antonio - have you seen (below)? -- via my buddy @erikdamato -- as Erik points out, the analogy is better as a monastery (not cult per se).https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/academia-is-a-cult/2018/10/31/eea787a0-bd08-11e8-b7d2-0773aa1e33da_story.html?fbclid=IwAR0ZPIjwhfd3xkr-MFYfIp5y4TZ1wkGe5qRpL0vATdoiPeFRFNL_KbAFm5k&utm_term=.4b861d0ab88e …
