Far from immediate news commentary, this conversation offers a deep dive into the history of civilizations and the spiritual mechanisms that have structured human societies for millennia. Emmanuel Todd develops his central concept of the "three stages of religion": active religion, zombie religion, and zero religion. He explains how the gradual disappearance of religious belief does not necessarily lead to a more rational or freer society, but can instead result in a collective void, social atomization, and profound nihilism. The interview also addresses the fundamental differences between Catholicism and Protestantism, the spiritual transformations of the West, the limitations of modern rationalism, and the cases of Iran, Russia, Japan, and India. The video is not a commentary on current events but a reflection on the current difficulty of a collective project without religion or the political ideologies that have emerged from it, on the impossibility of a return to faith, and not only in the world that was once Christian. The concept of "zero religion" is extended here to Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, and Hinduism. A dive into the distant past, particularly the Sumerian urban revolution of the 4th millennium BCE, also allows for an exploration of the fundamental idea that religion preceded the state as a collective form of human organization. Finally, Emmanuel Todd discusses artificial intelligence and the use of ChatGPT as an intellectual tool, while warning against the risks of cultural homogenization and cognitive conformity in societies already weakened by the disappearance of collective symbolic frameworks.
