It’s important to have a third place. Somewhere else to go besides home and work.
Religion offered that but the third place doesn’t necessarily need to be a church. It could be a bar “where everybody knows your name”, a coffee shop, a sports team, some kind of hobby group, or a charitable organization.
Religion fading while we still need to have a third place means a lot of grifters have moved in to fill the void. So people are getting into all kinds of weirs political groups and such just to have people to hang out with. Let’s all pretend we think the world is flat so we have a reason to hang out.
