Authenticity, Individuality & Groupthink: How Faith & Reason Affect Authenticity

This week's show continues one of the issues discussed in last week's show about the tenuous relationship between authenticity/individuality and group supported ideology. As we began to discuss, a group supported belief-set alienate outsiders and those who challenge this belief set. In so doing, a hostile environment of one's social group may undermine an individual's authenticity. So, the central question in this show, relevant to both the individual and group belief sets, will be why and how authenticity is encouraged by the manner in which beliefs are held.
