340 million people. In America. How many do you think have converted? From Christianity. To Muslim. To Islam. Yeah, Islam.

No, I'm not. I'm not. I'm trying to figure out how to not make a fool out of myself. Two million.

Yeah, no, I don't think Islam is necessarily a religion where we're seeing converts. I think Islam is a religion where we're seeing importation in that we're seeing a lot of people come from other countries and we're seeing families grow. And so I think that, I mean, when you mentioned the Mormon church, I think the back door of the Mormon church is a lot bigger than the front door.

I think a lot more people are leaving the Mormon church than are actually... I don't disagree.

Oh, well, we need to have a debate on that. That's the real debate. Stop it. Napoleon Dynamite is one of the best pieces of film of all time.

Oh, and I agree with you. And I think we're already starting to see that with the Iron Hersey Ali's and others where we're seeing a resurgence. Oh, I'm talking bigger. Yeah.

No, I think you're right. And I think we're in a particularly interesting age where you had the new atheism with the Richard Dawkins and the Daniel Dennetts and the Sam Harris's. And I think we saw those seeds planted and they grew into dead trees.

And people realize that if you tell individuals that they're just a product of time plus matter plus chance, that they have no ultimate meaning, then they're going to struggle in finding purpose and drive. What do you think happened with Sam Harris? Do you think that's what it is?

No, I think the new atheism, as it was articulated in the early 2000s, was a movement that was largely motivated in print and was theoretical, but actually the practical implications were dangerous. And that people, even people like Sam Harris, have realized that they are inefficient to actually be applied in real life.

And so that's why you see, I think, people becoming the quote-unquote spiritual but not religious atheists. and the new age becoming far more popular, then I don't run into atheists in the like Richard Dawkins types anymore, I don't.
