Tyler CowenEvidence Quote
“religion is a functionally unmatched...cultural technology that enhances human cooperation cohesion. And as religion weakens...we have not replaced that with any other technology cultural or otherwise that is able to create cooperation, practically long-term cooperation...with anything of even nearly matched power.
