The Open Div Summit interview

Open Div is a leading, NGOsih project devoted to tracking and translating divinity into secular society. Last month they staged the Open Div Summit, for which I contributed a podcast discussion on “Technology, Psychedelics, and the Future of Religion,” available on Spotify and Anchor. This was a fun conversation because I got to work out some of my Religious Studies chops: the question of religion in modernity, the peculiar identity of the “Spiritual But Not Religious,” the role of technology in faith, and the strange and hair-raising possibilities of psychedelic religiosity going forward.
