/502/ Their Own Personal Jesus ft. Lamorna Ash

On the "return of religion" in Britain. [Patreon Exclusive] Journalist Lamorna Ash talks to George and Alex about how and why young people might be turning to religion today. Have things moved on from the New Atheists and their critique of religion? What are the divides in Christianity today? How do culture wars over sexuality play out? Why do ritual, quiet, and the 'new monasticism’ hold appeal today? Is Gen Z's pessimism a type of apocalyptic thinking? Is it related to environmentalism? The After Party, following the interview, is at 00:51:30.
