We've lost something.
Society's increasing secularization has stripped the sacred from our lives and culture-jettisoning much that is bright and good in exchange for dark, dull substitutes.
Every human society has had religion-has needed religion.
It is foolish to think ours is any different.
But at the same time, the ancient cosmologies and disproved beliefs of the world's major religions feel increasingly dissatisfying and irrelevant to growing numbers of people.
