I think it's that they promised paradise and delivered nothing.

I mean, they had promised us that we just all became atheists.

We'd enter an age of science and reason and leave superstition behind, and it would all be great and wonderful.

And that

That doesn't work for humans.

They never replaced Christianity with anything to build culture, to build society, to build groups and friendship circles.

Because we go to church every week.

We go to Bible study once a week in a lot of churches.

You build culture.

Atheism didn't offer that.

It's basically just offered people a hammer to walk around and hit everyone else's worldview.

Which is fun.

It could be fun for a while.

Which is why people did it.

Eventually your arm gets tired and you're like, well, now what do I do?

I mean, think about, though, what atheism really offers the average person.

If you're a academic professor, if you're a media spokesperson, if you're the influencer, you have purpose and meaning.

What does the stock boy have in atheism?

If he gets a couple, yeah, he's lucky.

Like, what does the average Joe get from this?
