non-religion needs to be more like religion?

I mean, obviously this is a complete temple-kneading, head-shaking farce of an article (the idea that Atheism is anything more than an individual's rational lack of belief, etc), but I think there's an interesting discussion beyond the facepalming false premise.

we kind of already do have secular rituals in a mundane sort of way, most of which involve getting smashed and that.

but idk, as a frustrated dreamy aesthete who finds the world a bit dull, I might be up for indulging in a bit of fanciful nonsense for the sake of it.
