Yeah, and the thing I say is, look, I'm a scientist. Have I seen any data that would make me believe in God? No. But does that mean I definitely know God's not there? Again, even Richard Dawkins, most famous atheist around, will say he can't be sure. And so I think let's not have arguments about something that we can't answer, right?

And let's partake in the benefits that come in a way that speaks to us. And let's have a little intellectual humility, right? This is the problem with many people on both sides. There are scientists who are so sure that they know that all religion is nonsense and there is no God, that they look down on people who think the other.

And there are some fundamentalists in religion who are so sure that the word of the Bible or the Koran or the Torah, whatever the text is, is all there is and science is wrong. And I think on both sides, that level of self-confidence is really more hubris because we don't know.

And if we put that question aside, then we can actually, I think, hopefully work together to try and figure out how to make life better for all of us and be open to other people's perspectives and trying things.

There haven't been really scientific comparisons. What I can say, and there tends to be a lot of convergences. That is, people, if you look at different types of practices and rituals at different life stages, there's a lot they share. But there also are some that deal with certain challenges better than others.

Like I think Judaism deals with grief, the rituals of Shiva, better than, say, Christianity does. So I think they're all good. There hasn't been an empirical examination of is one better than the other. But I think in certain cases here and there, different religions do have better approaches that we can quantify scientifically. And that work is that work is just starting.

necessarily yeah it's your view of it and it's and it's how those practices that you engage in affect you and because more of them are shared if you take away the words of the prayers or the specific beliefs if you put those to the side there's a lot of overlap in the practices and i think that's why it doesn't really matter so much which which faith it is
