A connection between conspiracy theories and faith? [View all]

I came across this lecture by the author who questions the historical existence of Jesus, surely a controversial subject, but one on which he has an interesting commentary.

Toward the end of the lecture, there is reference to Roswell and conspiracy theories that I personally found fascinating, given our times, where he muses about what might happen to the Roswell conspiracy if society collapsed.

The lecture itself is fascinating, but this portion in 2021 seems very relevant, particularly with the mainstreaming of conspiracy theories and a possible violent collapse of culture as a result. (The lecture was given in 2017.)
