Ive noticed that a lot of people these days are looking for religious purpose in even it's most debased forms, now that major religions are in decline. You get BLM that has become something of a religion, youve got the QAnon protests in Germany that are just fucking bizarre, and youve got political polarisation all across the board. It's like an opiate of the masses (although communists organizations themselves are also just opiates of the masses, as is a god-like faith in revolution and kingdom come).

Are there any good books that delve into this? Also books on how to start your own religion, just curious. I know Spengler touches on it, but it's not really fleshed out.

I recently read The Righteous Mind and im really interested in how people really have emotion-driven opinions which they then try to rationalize. Are there any other books on this topic?
