Summary: In recent decades an increasing number of people have begun to identify themselves as "spiritual but not religious." In this episode of the C-Realm Podcast, KMO talks with Jonathan Thompson about the unintended consequences of this practice of loading the word 'religion' with exclusively negative connotations and investing all the positives aspects of religious practice and experience in the word 'spiritual.' It is of particular concern to groups looking for First Amendment protections for religious practices that involve psychedelic sacraments. In the second half of the conversation, they discuss psychedelic parenting and consider the dangers and challenges in speaking honestly to children about psychedelic practices.
