218: The End of Celebrity and the Return of State Religions

The Secular Age can be marked as one where mechanism of belief commonly assumed considers religion one option amongst many. We may find a sense of freedom in not being bound politically or nationally to a Religion, but the cost reduces the legitimacy of a belief to authenticity and thus, merely a fashion statement. What you believe about right and wrong is simply a matter of taste.

But we may be observing the end of the secular age, where this form of secularism along with its liberty and meaning-leeching properties, gets replaced by State-mandated 'faith,' or merely worship of the State itself.

One sign of this cultural shift can be observed in how celebrity opinions about political topics trends to less results. We're simply not as interested in what so called famous people virtue signal about.
