490 1 The School of Life
520 Many of us find ourselves in the odd situation of not
believing in religion - but nevertheless being interested
in it, moved by it and sympathetic to some of its aims. We
may enjoy religious art and architecture, music and
community, and even some of the rituals - while being
unable to believe in divine commandments or the existence
of a higher being. This book is about those feelings and
what we might do about them. The School of Life is a
secular organisation fascinated by the gaps left in modern
society by the gradual disappearance of religion. We're
interested in how hard it is to find a sense of community,
how rituals are dying out and how much we sometimes crave
the solemn quiet you find in religious buildings, as well
as the comfort offered by the belief in a deity. This book
lays out how we might absorb the best lessons of religion,
update them for our times and incorporate them into our
daily lives and societies - without taking on the
theological or doctrinal elements. This book tries to
rescue some of what remains wise and useful from all that
no longer seems (to many of us) to be quite true
