In this episode of 'Order Within,' I discuss the similarities between modern culture and cult-like religions. I explore the shared values, rituals, and authority figures associated with both traditional religions and modern secular culture.
Key topics include consumerism, celebrity worship, technology as salvation, secular humanism, and the dangers of a culture without boundaries or consequences. I call for a reflective examination of modern culture's moral and philosophical underpinnings, contrasting it with the age-old wisdom found in Christianity.
Tune in for a thought-provoking analysis that challenges prevailing societal norms.
