I can help you back.
We can get this deal done right now on the show.
I'm going to take half an hour.
You guys crack on.
There's a brochure under your seat.
There are a lot of Catholics who don't practice.
And one of the things that you find is they have no better sense of meaning than people who have no religion at all.
But people who believe that they have a concept of the divine, a transcendence, who have not just physical but metaphysical fitness, which requires that you practice something, these people have a much, much deeper sense of the why of their lives.
Now, the why part is important.
Meaning is really the answer to the questions of why things happen the way they do, which is coherence, why I'm doing what I'm doing, which is purpose, and why my life matters, which is significance.
The three big whys of life.
And religion's really good for answering that.
Why do things happen the way they do?
Mind of God.
Why am I doing what I'm doing?
Because I'm trying to live up to God's will.
Why does my life matter?
Because I'm a child of God.
I mean, this perfectly answers the three why questions of meaning, if you take it seriously.
Yeah, so I'm super interested in these data, as you can imagine.
