Why is that when some secular person says something positive about religion, people get interested? That “the secular case for God” sells better than the religious case for God says something about our impoverished culture.
When Saint Augustine is quoted saying, “Our hearts are restless till they find rest in” God — yawn. But when Joe Rogan says, “There’s a part in the brain that wants that thing [religion]” — how interesting! When Pope Paul VI prophesied that the sexual revolution would cause untold misery, especially for women and children — boring. But when an eloquent, estranged feminist makes a very similar argument, it’s daring and new.
