Inevitable Religiosity and My Pragmatic Darwinian Pascal's Wager

Atheists are waking up to the fact that religion is available. Coleman Hughes with John McWhorter notes Dr. King's reliance on religion. Bret Weinstein according to Alister McGrath thinks we almost need a new religion. Auguste Comte tried exactly this but if we compare it to what Joseph Smith did it was a failure. Why? How then must we define religion? How did Paul Tillich define it? We go back to Jordan Peterson at Lafayette College and questions about religion. It's inevitable. We'll look at why CS Lewis picked Christianity. Charles Taylor's "fullness". Byrne Power's cheap "fun" in America and finally what I think of as a Pragmatic Darwinian Pascal's Wager.
