Andrew explores the idea that religion can be viewed as an adjective, reflecting behaviors and social contexts rather than just beliefs in the supernatural. He critiques the tendency to label political and social movements as religions, arguing that while it can be illuminating, it often oversimplifies complex systems that encompass rituals and deeper meanings. The discussion highlights how symbols like the American flag can evoke religious-like fervor, revealing fascinating parallels between national identity and traditional religious practices.In this clip
