Alain de Botton: Ateizam 2.0

Koje aspekte religije bi ateisti  (s poštovanjem) trebali usvojiti? Alain de Botton predlaže „religiju za ateiste“ -- zove ju Ateizam 2.0 -- koja ujedinjuje religijske oblike i tradicije kako bi zadovoljila naše ljudske potrebe za povezivanjem, obredom i transcendentalnim.

A new vision for non-belief invites atheists to borrow the best parts of religion—ritual, community, and moral guidance—without accepting the supernatural. While the Catholic Church generates billions and organizes millions, secular life often lacks meaningful traditions and communal practices. By adapting structures like sermons, calendars, and art with clear purpose, even non-believers can find connection and depth. This approach suggests that religion’s strengths are cultural tools anyone can use to meet universal human needs.
