We ran the first of a new class at The School of Life, last night: How to Fill the God-Shaped Hole. It was good, I felt, in that it touched people. And what I came away with was the distinct sense that for individuals who don't have faith, though aren't anti-faith per se, what they admire in the religious folk they know, and miss the most themselves, is the sense of community - not just of belonging, but of being engaged in an activity that is serious, non-utilitarian and collective.
