> Guys like Hume and Bertrand Russell are good but I was trying to underline the empirical challenges to religiosity rather than the theoretical challenges
Hume was a massive empirical effect. Under what trend of rationalism was Darwin working under? The British were becoming increasingly non-religious at the time, just look at their policies in India, Utilitarianism was way in in gentlemanly fashion, not just a theory talked about by achedemics.

And Darwin’s theory wasn’t even the first time the idea of evolution in that sense was posed and highly discussed in the west, even in the church. it was under the context of modernism and utilitarianism and the reactionary third “great awakening” where it stirred somewhat of a hubbub.
I am sorry, but I have a hard time thinking you are a sociologist if you have such basic knowledge of sociology and the different aspects in society that informs trends.

And it’s not “just another chip”, since pretty much the beginning the more important and focuses on questions in religion has been more intrinsic. What is good, what is god, what is the relationship between me and god, etc. And by a literalists own admission, the only truth can be found in the holy text as an a priori assertion based on faith. And those who do not believe in complete literalism do not. People can believe In things, and believe in those things in different ways. I think focusing on Darwin is myopic because it was a conflict in only a particular part of the Christian community.>>19280153


Have you studied ontology much at all? As in meaning creation? It’s not to hard to understand a different stance can be the product of a different formation of meaning creation(something that smart people would be prone to exploring and thinking about)

Put me in the screencap

I'm a mindless consumer of entertainment. Hollywood, YouTube, television, 4chan, Reddit, etc. I'd like to audit my media consumption and stick to more...edifying content, and also to start reading more often. Any tips or guidance you can offer me?

Do it, but make sure to buy an accurate mainstream translation, like the KJV, NKJV, or ESV. (https://www.google.com/amp/s/religionandstory.com/2019/03/the-top-10-bible-translations/amp/))
