About this listen

This episode examines the historical role of religion in shaping human society. Rather than focusing on faith or doctrine, Carl looks at how religion helped early humans organise, cooperate, and create meaning in an unpredictable world.

We explore how belief systems provided structure, morality, identity, and a sense of belonging—and how those functions continue to influence modern life, even as traditional religious practice declines.

It's a reflection on why humans believe, what role religion has played in our development, and what happens when belief systems evolve or fade.
