Lots of thought provoking ideas here! Part of my hesitation in criticizing religion is that I don’t fully buy the secular worldview. I don’t think it’s necessarily more correct than any religion. I’m not religious. I don’t like the term “spiritual” all that much either. But I think there is a self-process and life-process that many religions get at which paves a way to deeper truth. I think evoking the process of placing self and experiencing self within a larger context is healthy and that this context is existential, curious and even mystical. I think it needs to move past reason and to an extent language. I find it through biology, nature and relationship but see the essence of these things as being almost godlike
