Question:
The Sacred and the Profane - Mercia Eliade (Excerpts), Eliade discusses how the homo religion understands space as hierarchical: there are sacred spaces and profane spaces.
Does this distinction between sacred space and profane space only apply to religious people? What about people who are not religious, especially now in our deeply secular age? Do we still have a sense of the distinction between sacred space and profane space? Explain and provide examples, if any.
