Community for community's sake seems hard in late stage capitalism/developed economies. Something else beyond religion and war will be needed to bring people together, and the workplace alone is not it (based on the evidence).

Thanks for the links. Certainly, when I became an atheist, the hardest thing to come to grips with was the loss of community. There are lots of little communities--WOW guilds, school sports teams, etc. But there's nothing like a universal religion which everybody belongs to.


https://www.sundayassembly.org/ is the closest organized effort I've found, besides local community groups around volunteering, philanthropy, and hobbies/shared interests.
