Obviously fantastic

Our relationship with the transcendent is the force which constitutes the very possibility for culture to exist. It is in finding a unity which a collective can commune with that allows collectives to form in the first place. You cannot exist without religion, it is unavoidable. It’s not even just that you can’t exist without religion, it is that you cannot exist without religious obligation compelling you and shaping you. As soon as you decide what your religious imperatives are you are falling into the trap of projecting yourself and your own subjectivity onto the transcendent telos. Religion is about binding, gathering, recollecting and remembering. Religion is about taking our own particularity, our own subjectivity and uniting it with the cosmic narrative which we are but a mere part of.
