Rushkoff on our relationship with religion Douglas Rushkoff, out on his book tour for Nothing Sacred: The Truth About Judaism, is talking to people about religion. His latest post (linked in the headline) contains some thoughtful observations, starting with this one: I'm fast learning that people are less willing to consider new ways of looking at their relationship to religion than, say, the Internet. In fact, many people don't seem to understand that they have a relationship to religion, at all. They think it just is. Later, he adds: People have much less room for entertaining doubt in their relationships to religion. ... That's probably because these relationships are always fraught with so much doubt - conscious or otherwise. Of course, engaging with different models of theology needn't shake anyone's belief that there is a God - only that we may not yet conceive of God exactly as God is.
