This TED Talk by Alain de Botton addresses an interesting issue. Secularists (atheists, secular humanists, etc.) may be missing some vital social and psychological benefits enjoyed by religious people. Entirely apart from the questions of whether various religious doctrines are valid, the social structures and aesthetic infrastructures of religions meet real needs that even nonbelievers possess. de Botton raises a question I recently discussed with an atheism activist, “To be healthy and effective in developing, living, and promoting their worldview, don’t secular people need social support structures similar to those found in organized religions?” Is there something inherent in human nature that needs the kinds of social systems and even the sorts of physical-spatial-temporal organizing systems found in religions?
