relationship between religion, government, culture, warfare, social control, and political authority, arguing that state support played a major role in the expansion of many ancient religious systems.
The discussion moves from Judaism and the ancient concept of the “sacred canopy” to Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Zoroastrianism, Constantine, Theodosius, King Ashoka, and Muhammad. The conversation also explores how conquered peoples sometimes adopted aspects of the religions and rituals of their conquerors.
Derek Lambert and Dr. Price also discuss atheism, religious pluralism, Christian fundamentalism, evangelism, deconstruction, and the difficult relationship between believers and non-believers.
Why did some religions become global movements while others remained small?
Did political power help religion spread?
What happened when Christianity became connected to the state?
And can religion remain powerful after society loses its shared “sacred canopy”?
This conversation challenges conventional assumptions about the origins and expansion of the world's major religions.
Watch until the end for a fascinating discussion about religion, power, atheism, and the forces that shape human societies.

Who is Robert Price?
Robert McNair Price (born July 7, 1954) is an American theologian and writer, known for arguing against the existence of a historical Jesus (the Christ myth theory). He taught philosophy and religion at the Johnnie Colemon Theological Seminary. He is a professor of biblical criticism at the Center for Inquiry Institute, and the author of a number of books on theology and the historicity of Jesus. Price is a fellow of the Jesus Seminar, a group of 150 writers and scholars who study the historicity of Jesus, the organizer of a Web community for those interested in the history of Christianity, and sits on the advisory board of the Secular Student Alliance. He is a religious skeptic, especially of orthodox Christian beliefs, occasionally describing himself as a Christian atheist. |
Who is MythVision?
MythVision Podcast (MVP) brings you some of the finest information surrounding Mythology. Knowledge from a variety of people in search of a better understanding of ancient text. We discuss mythology, syncretism, astrotheology, gematria, sacred geometry, secret societies, ancient languages, history prophecy, scholarship, conspiracies, heretical ideas, myth interpretations and much more. |
What are Religions?
Religion is a range of social-cultural systems, including designated behaviors and practices, ethics, morals, beliefs, worldviews, texts, sanctified places, prophecies, or organizations, that generally relate humanity to supernatural, transcendental, and spiritual elements. There is no scholarly consensus over what precisely constitutes a religion. It is an essentially contested concept. Different religions may or may not contain various elements ranging from the divine, sacredness, faith, and a supernatural being or beings. The origin of religious belief is an open question, with possible explanations including awareness of individual death, a sense of community, and dreams. Religions have sacred histories, narratives, and mythologies, preserved in oral traditions, sacred texts, symbols, and holy places, that may attempt to explain the origin of life, the universe, and other phenomena. Religious practice may include rituals, sermons, commemoration or veneration (of deities or saints), sacrifices, festivals, feasts, trances, initiations, matrimonial and funerary services, meditation, prayer, music, art, dance, or public service. <br><br> There are an estimated 10,000 distinct religions worldwide, though nearly all of them have regionally based, relatively small followings. Four religions: Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism account for over 77% of the world's population, and 92% of the world either follows one of those four religions or identifies as non-religious, meaning that the vast majority of remaining religions account for only 8% of the population combined. |
