I was listening to the episode with Marc Andreessen 1840, I was wondering where can I read more about the concepts about religion explored?

Well, if you're really interested in digging deep into the connections between religion and various concepts, I would suggest checking out the works of scholars like John Marco Allegro and Carl Ruck. They have done some profound research on the intersections of ancient religions and psychedelics. Allegro's book "The Sacred Mushroom and the Cross" dives into this concept pretty deeply, suggesting that early Christianity had ties to psychedelic mushroom use.

Also worth looking at is Gordon Wasson's work. He's the guy who brought Psilocybin mushrooms to the Western world’s attention. He's also theorized about the potential influence of psychedelics on religious thought.

Additionally, you might want to delve into the concept of 'Geometric Unity' discussed by Eric Weinstein. Though more aligned with physics and math, it presents a unique way of understanding the underlying structure of our reality, which can touch on some deeply philosophical and even spiritual ideas.

Remember, it's not about agreeing or disagreeing with these ideas, it's about exposure and understanding different viewpoints. Keep an open mind and enjoy the journey of exploration!
