What If We're Throwing Out Wisdom With the Holy Water?
Here's a peculiar fact: Emma Watson, Stephen Fry, and countless other thoughtful atheists keep a book about religion on their shelves. Not to mock it, but to learn from it. This isn't some spiritual crisis or hedged bet on the afterlife. It's recognition of something we've been reluctant to admit-that in our rush to escape religious dogma, we may have abandoned some of humanity's most sophisticated tools for living well together. Think about it. When Christianity swept across Europe, it had no qualms about stealing good ideas. Midwinter festivals became Christmas. Pagan temples were literally occupied and repurposed. Epicurean philosophy got repackaged as monasticism. The early church was less concerned with originality than effectiveness. Yet modern atheists often refuse to touch anything with religious fingerprints, as if wisdom becomes contaminated by its theological packaging. We've created a false choice: either swallow supernatural claims whole or reject everything religions ever figured out about human nature. This binary thinking has left us impoverished, living in a world where we've lost the script for how to comfort the grieving, build genuine community, or mark life's significant transitions with anything more meaningful than a restaurant reservation.
