      ab: This article explores the concept of a resilient democracy and the role of cognitive science, specifically the cognitive science of religion, in achieving this goal. It emphasizes the importance of worldviews, both religious and secular, in uniting individuals into morally bounded communities. The article acknowledges the diversity of religious beliefs among participants in the January 6 Insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, highlighting the motivations of these religious actors. It also discusses the potential for a more hopeful assessment, noting the growing segment of the population that identifies as religiously unaffiliated and skeptical of American exceptionalism. The text suggests that an immanental political theology could promote resilience and compromise in a diverse democracy.
