Mr. Quinones is 100% correct in stating that "much of what neuroscience has learned about our brain confirms religion’s truths: humans need love, purpose, compassion, patience, forgiveness, and engagement with others."
I was just listening to Bari Weiss' podcast episode with Jonathan Haidt, talking about Pascal's thought about the "god-shaped hole in our souls." Great minds think alike ... or at least, they think.
No decision of the Supreme Court wrecked more havoc with our social fabric than the decisions that took religion and religious values out of the public square
With the review of Quniones' book Least of Us there doesn't appear to be any mention when drugs became appropriate and acceptable---in the '60's.
I would be prepared to submit that that cultural change is a fundamental fact with the development of a Drug Epidemic. Yet, it would appear this matter cannot be mentioned... asking why ....
