Part 2/14:
The dialogue delves into the nature of religion as a societal framework built on shared beliefs—like Christianity's account of resurrection or the systemic faith in supernatural events. The host argues that belief in stories like Jesus' resurrection is akin to accepting other extraordinary claims, despite their contradictions and lack of empirical proof. This prompts a reflection on how societies rely on collective faith, often without rigorous questioning, which sustains social cohesion but also perpetuates cognitive dissonance.
