E2 Religion as consumer product

In the second episode of Secular Christ, Sean J McGrath helps us to make a necessary distinction between naive versus mature secularism. He follows Charles Taylor's description of what happens to religion in the secular age and how religious belief has turned into a consumer product. McGrath goes on to describe how Christianity in instances has become an absolute reversal of itself, the antichrist, and has brought with it a new form of evil into this world. McGrath discusses these themes together with Berlin-based psychoanalyst Jakob Lusensky. Reading: Charles Taylor - A secular Age Music in this episode is licensed under creativecommons.org. Artist.
