The Glowing Altar: Worship in the Age of Screens

In this episode, we unpack a bold idea: the television as the modern-day altar. From Sunday sermons to nightly news, sitcoms to streaming binges, the TV has become a central fixture in our homes, commanding attention, devotion, and sometimes even belief. We explore how this glowing box has replaced the hearth—and even the pulpit—for many, shaping values, rituals, and worldviews across generations. Has entertainment become the new religion? Are our favorite shows the new scripture? And what happens when algorithms become our spiritual guides? Join us Across the Pond as we tune in, zone out, and ask: what are we really worshipping?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/across-the-pond--6537033/support.
