Brief: Secular Person of Faith: pt 1 (w/Brad Onishi)
Friend of the pod and Straight White American Jesus host Brad Onishi joins Matthew for a New Year’s discussion of post-religious spirituality. Onishi fills out the details on a nascent identity that many of you might resonate with: the “secular person of faith.” We talk about the false choice of Max Weber’s fork in the road: that either we commit to the sciences or languish in the churches. We discuss Jeffery Kosky’s idea of “disenchantment with disenchantment.” And we try to figure out what Thomas Altizer was going on about when he proposed a “Christian Atheism.”
This is Part One of two-part conversation. Part Two drops Monday, New Year’s Day, on Patreon.
