    Matt uses God as a shorthand for a much fuzzier concept

      It’s defined in the Elementary Forms of Relgious Life by Emile Durkheim. He argues that religion forms in moments of social effervescence, so to Matt’s point, god is the recognition of the social organism and our rationalization towards it as individuals. Wish Matt would read more actual theory to back up his sincerely good points but that’s why he’s on twitch instead of publishing books
