Strange Rites by Tara Isabella Burton
New Religions for a Godless World
A wide-ranging cultural investigation that argues religion in the modern West has not vanished but been reshaped into new rituals and belief systems that permeate politics, wellness, technology and consumer life; through on-the-ground reporting and analysis the book traces how practices from witchcraft and yoga to psychedelics, influencer culture and conspiratorial movements function as sources of meaning, belonging and moral order, revealing the emotional and social work that these 'strange rites' perform in an age of secularization and fragmentation.
