Common Sense, Man episodes
- There's No Such Thing as a Non-Religious Man
In this episode, I argue that there’s no such thing as a non-religious man, making the following points:
-Religion is a notion of the highest good.
-We make decisions based on a hierarchy of goods that flows from our highest good.
-Every man has a hierarchy, and therefore a highest good.
-When you don't know what the highest good is, you still act as though a "placeholder" good is the highest.-If you are unhappy, you may be serving a false god.

-States with “invisible” religions are merciless to non-believers.
-This has practical consequences for daily life.
28 min - There's No Such Thing as a Non-Religious School
