▶ Atheism 2.0 - Alain de Botton - YouTube

▶ Atheism 2.0 - Alain de Botton - YouTube:

Thoughts:

There is always something bigger than us. Religion gives us that feeling to answer that question to some extent. And I concur when the orator mentioned that Religion has a lot to give to any field, whether its science, business, communal industry, education etc.

When it comes to management  I could immediately think about Dr.Dev Dutt Patnaik and his views. The ideals or ideas or context are briefed from the rich Indian history - some wants to refer it as mythology!
I should say its Hindu history, which is a way of living, spread across many countries in Asia - as i know and realized.

Coming back to the Atheism speech. I agree in today's Christian religion is a Multi-national, Big brand, Richest enterprise, Highly disciplined, Well organized, Clear road map - even for centuries!, Collaborative, Open and with Enormous fan following.
I doesn't mean the other religions aren't. But they aren't the way as today's world require.

  • No Good leadership role is present in today's Hindu religion. 
  • Gathering are not mandated/pressurized in few religious temples.
  • Some religion are not open in welcoming new followers, they mandate the newbies to follow some regulation/rituals, which is not exactly disciplinary!
  • Some don't see a need to build a strong Institution - inside or outside their community.
  • etc.  

However, when one understand his/her/any particular religion in depth, then there is no necessity to be remarked as a 'Theist' or 'Atheist'. Both are same!
