What about shows that borrow from religious themes without actually being about religion?

Are we seeing a lot of that as well?

This place will break your heart.

Because you're the bear.

Earlier in the show, we talked about how Mormons have used social media.

And you can see that a little bit in the glorification of the trad wife life.

I wonder if pop culture can sanitize religion or sort of whitewash it or sort of make it appear, I don't know, different than it actually is when you're in it.

Do you believe in God because somebody told you at an impressionable age that God is real, despite having doubts as you got older, despite seeing evidence to the contrary your whole lives?

Yeah.

That's it for this week.
