Philosophy Of Religion: Reading Erich Fromm

Podcast SummaryIn this episode, we take a deep dive into a thought-provoking lecture by Erich Fromm, delivered in 1971, exploring the history of religion and the decline of religious thought. Fromm, a renowned philosopher, psychoanalyst, and sociologist, examines how religious belief has evolved, why its traditional foundations have eroded, and what has risen to take its place.We discuss the idea that, even in a secular world, humanity still seeks meaning—whether through technology, ideology, or new ethical frameworks. Hasmodern society replaced God with the worship of progress? Does morality survive without divine authority? And what lessons can we draw from history, psychology, and philosophy to navigate this shift?Join the conversation as we reflect on these questions and consider what the future of belief—and disbelief—might look like.
