About this listen

Before gods had names, temples had altars, and books were called holy, we were staring into the storm and searching for meaning. From prehistoric burials and animistic spirits to sacred texts, televangelists, cults, algorithms, and Instagram astrology, Religion 101 traces the full arc of human faith in all its glory and violence. In this punchy history, JJ breaks down the world’s oldest force: not by preaching, but by exploring. You’ll meet prophets, kings, gods, heretics, influencers, and follow belief as it evolves into systems of power, identity, community, and content. This isn’t a takedown. It’s a walkthrough. Honest, curious, and built for anyone asking: What the hell do we worship now?
