A wise old friend once said to me that if Christianity died out, what would come next would not be atheism but polytheism.
That is, instead of worshipping one God, people would start worshipping a whole range of gods.
I thought of that yesterday while watching a Brazilian shaman called Putanny Yawanawa performing a native spiritual ceremony onstage at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
The leaders onstage all managed to keep a straight face — in fact, they looked deeply humbled and impressed — as Yawanawa did her incantations and blew her sacred breath into their faces.
All behaved as though this was a well-known and totally normal way to start a meeting about economics.
Though I would guess most would have recoiled in embarrassment if a Christian priest had offered them a Communion wafer.
But Davos today worships many gods — old and new.
As well as these native incantations, attendees in the Swiss ski resort also heard from an ancient shaman called John Kerry.

Common sense?! There’s no time for that when you’re busy taking over the world.
Elect a Libertarian, get schooled on economics
How did Schwab not know what he was going to say?
Milei was likely invited so they could compromise him in some way. That seems to be the MO these days.
I’m liking Javier Milei even more now.
Performance art...Millei is controlled opposition
They invited a couple of vocal dissenters. Probably hoping to catch them on film with hookers and blow.
Wrong. Islam.
Yeah, that’s what I was thinking after watching Klaus Schwab respond to his speech. I wonder if this is their way to “build back trust” by playing more psychological head games.
No, Millei is real.
Minions of the World Enslavement Forum will kill him.
I like that much better and will start to use it more than World Economic Forum.
I also like World Extermination Forum.
