In “How Do Our Kids Get So Caught Up In Consumerism?”, Brian Swimme argues that advertisements provide the foundation for children’s “primary religious faith” (146). He describes the overwhelming effects of the “religion of consumerism” which provides children with “their basic grasp of the world’s meaning” (145, 146).
In “What Faith Is”, Paul Tillich defines faith as a person’s “ultimate concern” which “demands total surrender” and “promises total fulfillment” (214).
Support your argument with ideas from Swimme and Tillich.
