In countries where the state and religion are divorced don’t really make sense.
America as a Protestant “white†country. But pretends not to be?
America cannot exist without God.
Where China is bizarre — no more religion (state or in general) creates a vacuum.
Then what is the new religion? Industry.
Silicon Valley— “data†as the new God.
Also “capital†becomes its own godhead.
Catholicism as the Holy Roman Empire 2.0
Yoga — “Buddhism†or “mindfulness†as the new religion.
