We Nones may not believe in God, but we hope to one day. We have a dog in this hunt.<\/p>\n
Nones don\u2019t get hung up on whether a religion is \u201ctrue\u201d\u009d or not, and instead subscribe to William James\u2019s maxim that \u201ctruth is what works.\u201d\u009d If a certain spiritual practice makes us better people \u201d\u201d more loving, less angry \u201d\u201d then it is necessarily good, and by extension \u201ctrue.\u201d\u009d (We believe that G. K. Chesterton got it right when he said: \u201cIt is the test of a good religion whether you can joke about it.\u201d\u009d)<\/p>\n
By that measure, there is very little \u201cgood religion\u201d\u009d out there….What is the solution? The answer, I think, lies in the sort of entrepreneurial spirit that has long defined America, including religious America.We need a Steve Jobs of religion.<\/p>\n
