Another Reason to Love Greg Gutfeld

I love all the promotion for Greg Gutfeld’s new book Not Cool because it means more Greg Gutfeld. Everywhere!

In a recent interview with The Blaze, Gutfeld talked about his views on religion as a non-religious person.

Gutfeld: Well you know the thing is I am non-religious. I wouldn’t say that I am an atheist. I would say that I just don’t know. I haven’t been to church in years. But there is one thing I know, and that is that the church is a positive influence in communities, in terms of encouraging charity, and neighborly concern. It’s an important thing. I mean it’s what I had when I was growing up – you saw your neighbors, it got you out of the house. If you worked at the Church as an altar boy like I did you got to know everybody. You knew who died and who was sick because you were always at funerals and…it was a community thing. 

We are moving away from that and there have been studies that are out now that are talking about how people are becoming as they get more involved with technology they are moving away from these community-based groups. And I think that this is dangerous and we have nothing to replace what worked before. And religion does work for a lot of people and has helped a lot of people in society, and when we subvert it, what kind of traditions are you going to replace it with?

(And since I’m promoting religion and books, I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention you should also buy my new book, Finding Mr. Righteous.)
