The latest episode of Bill Maher’s Club Random features conservative activist Charlie Kirk. It was a very rich, insightful, and far-ranging discussion, but when things turned to religion, is where both men appeared to miss something fundamental In this episode, I dive into the roots of religion, why moral order can’t exist without the sacred, and how even Maher’s liberalism operates as a religion in disguise. Learn how our civilization is built on sacred truths and why dismissing them might be tearing society apart.

Highlights:

  • "For cultural anthropologists, religion is social order. It’s not a matter of having social order over here and religion over there that somehow helps society out; religion is social order.”
  • "Bill Maher’s conception of religion has nothing to do with a critical academic study of what religion actually is.”
  • “Bill Maher is just as religious as any pharaoh in ancient Egypt."
  • “Bill Maher’s atheistic-agnosticism is not the religion that founded this nation, and so, it’s no surprise that when that very atheistic-agnosticism starts taking over our public institutions, our nation unravels.”
