At the heart of our current moment lies a universal yearning, writes David Zahl, not to be happy or respected so much as enough - what religions call "righteous." To fill the void left by religion, we look to all sorts of everyday activities - from eating and parenting to dating and voting - for the identity, purpose, and meaning once provided on Sunday morning.

In our striving, we are chasing a sense of enoughness. But it remains ever out of reach, and the effort and anxiety are burning us out. Seculosity takes a thoughtful yet entertaining tour of American "performancism" and its cousins, highlighting both their ingenuity and mercilessness, all while challenging the conventional narrative of religious decline. Zahl unmasks the competing pieties around which so much of our lives revolve, and he does so in a way that's at points playful, personal, and incisive. Ultimately he brings us to a fresh appreciation for the grace of God in all its counter-cultural wonder.

This is a great way for believers to see how we have been looking for enough-ness in the wrong ways. All great chapters and the conclusion ties it well together. I will recommend it to any friends.

Thought provoking and engaging

See it for what it is: the empty promise of enoughness. I am not Christian but it’s still a Great listen.

Smart, heartfelt call to see the religion all around us

I agreed with basic premise of the book; we look for “enoughness” in things outside Religion, and hence those things become our “religion”.
The format of the book was a new topic of these “religions” each chapter- it didn’t really allow for the story/narrative to build thru the book. No deepening progression of concepts, just glossing over a new topic and didn’t allow for much development of thought. It was mostly focused on the author’s observations.
I think the best way to read this book would be in a weekly book club where you read one chapter a week and then discuss, and dive deeper about the topic/impact on your life etc.

Decent book

I like the emphasis on Grace. But I disliked the unanswered questions. What about all of the content in the Bible that does have to do with change transformation expectations, commandments to be obeyed, and the like. Where does that fit. The narrow gate and the hard road to life. Totally imbalanced. The tension between those two ignored. I wish I could go back and remember who recommended this book to me so that I could slap them upside the head.

Unhelpful
