From an interview in Esquire with Scott Galloway, who is clinical professor of marketing at the Stern School of Business, New York University:
“When I was younger, I considered myself a scientist, and I was disparaging about religion and people who practiced it. What I’ve generally found is that people getting together once a week to be in the agency of something bigger than themselves and wish their neighbors good tidings is a good thing.”
(Thank you, Carol, for finding this.)
