Multiple times already he’s talked about how belief (faith) or surrender to god or religion can reduce stress and anxiety. I’m sure that’s true for the individual. Ignorance is bliss. But in doing so, important faculties like the ability to critically think are diminished. There’s a reason why religious people spread Covid more. There’s a reason why religious people aren’t taking climate change seriously.

Once again, he’s not digging deep enough to know whether religion is doing something for our health or whether its community. In chapter 5, he talks about how the religiously active are healthier, but doesn’t compare the findings to other groupish organizations. To know if religion was doing something and not the sense of community and belonging, we’d have to compare against secular groupish organizations.
