The Russell Moore Show
Origins of 'Spiritual but Not Religious' Trend
The chapter explores the roots of the 'Spiritual but Not Religious' trend through historical contexts and philosophical developments, shedding light on the rise of superstitions alongside a shift towards spiritual beliefs detached from traditional religious frameworks. It discusses the evolution of Western traditions blending rationalism and mysticism, highlighting the conflict between biblical Christianity and a belief in a larger universal force. The conversation also examines the influences of top-down historical movements like Hermeticism and bottom-up cultural shifts, illustrating how contemporary interest in spirituality without religion is linked to a desire for individual liberation and transcendent experiences.
