For many, evangelical culture has replaced evangelical experience. Testimony is thin and unconvincing. Sermons are often homilies on feel-good spirituality sermonettes for Christianettes. This is not only a serious situation for faith but also for the world. We still need a usable myth to define our world and give us meaning, purpose and even the will to live.
Humanity is a religious creation.
We are structurally religious animals with a transcendental gene . Spirituality is as much part of our humanity as our sexuality. Religion has survived previous crises because religion is itself a survival tool. I think so. But no, many books later this so-called atheist priest is still wrestling with God.
