“Historically there’s a certain kind of cultural glue that our stories hold together. That’s really one of the main purposes of religion—to give people a collective story, a collective myth, that holds cohesion in this human community. And when that story breaks down, then the society breaks down, falls apart, and transforms. We see that happening in the world right now in spades—certain ideologies, ways, myths, stories—people are saying, ‘this doesn’t work for me.’ This is way too unsatisfying. This isn’t actually true. So it breaks up.”
