"Religion Is Never Created nor Destroyed, in Any Society, Merely Transformed from One Form to Another"

"No, this isn't about sky fairies or who you personally profess as your lord and savior. Religion is fundamentally about dealing with reality via myth, ritual, and folklore, rather than data, empiricism, and skeptical inquiry. There's no less of it now than ever before. In fact, I'd go further and posit The Law of Conservation of Religion"

Antonio Garcia-Martinez at The Pull Request argues that "[t]he seculars don't understand their own religiosity because, frankly, they don't know enough about religion to recognize it."
