Are "the gods" just an ancient superstition or is there a way for us to approach the concept that will actually give us meaningful insights about our modern world?
THE GODS have been a fixture of human culture for as long as we can remember and the modern era is no exception. We may no longer believe that Zeus sits atop Mount Olympus or that the rain god looks after our crops, but there are systems and forces that still fulfill the role of the gods in our communities, our politics, and our culture at large.
We hope you enjoy this exploration of how we can reframe the idea of "the gods" in such a way that we actually gain insights about how the world of human society really works.
