311 - Ritualized Behavior From Animals to Church

The Symbolic World - A podcast by Jonathan Pageau

There is a tendency to isolate religious behavior from other human behavior, which can make religious behavior seem arbitrary or ridiculous. In this week's video, I argue that the best way to understand religion, even from a purely materialist perspective, is to understand it as an extension of other types of ritualized behavior, even those we can find among animals.πŸ’» Website and blog: http://www.thesymbolicworld.comπŸ”— Linktree: https://linktr.ee/jonathanpageau πŸ—£ Join The Symbolic World Community for discussions about symbolism: https://thesymbolicworld.com/subscribe πŸ”’ BECOME A PATRON Website: https://thesymbolicworld.com/subscribe Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/pageauvideos πŸ“± SOCIAL MEDIA Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/TheSymbolicWorld Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/pageaujonathan Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonathan.pageauOur website designers: https://www.resonancehq.io/ My intro was arranged and recorded by Matthew Wilkinson.
