The insight from the snip revolves around the recognition of the separation between the community, rituals, and superficial aspects of religion from the deep spiritual beliefs underlying it. It highlights the realization that the distinction between the two aspects has been a known concept for a long time, such as discussed in 'Varieties of Religious Experience' by William James.
