Belief vs. Practice | Ross Douthat

Is it beneficial to borrow the practices of a religion without fully embracing all of its beliefs? In this conversation from Ross Douthat's episode of Templeton Ideas, he argues that the benefits of prayer, meditation, and spiritual rituals are not just for community and structure. They engage with the ultimate questions of life.

Ross Douthat is a New York Times columnist who writes about religion, society, and moral values. He is also the author of several thought-provoking books, including Bad Religion: How We Became a Nation of Heretics, and a memoir of his personal struggle with a debilitating sickness, The Deep Places: A Memoir of Illness and Discovery. His latest book is Believe: Why Everyone Should Be Religious. Ross joins the podcast to discuss how decadence is shaping society and whether religion has a vibrant future.
