“Participation in mainstream religion has plummeted, but Americans have never been more spiritually busy.” That’s how author Tara Isabella Burton describes today’s shifting religious landscape in her book, Strange Rites: New Religions for a Godless World. Today, she joins Patrick to discuss this phenomenon which she refers to as “remixed spirituality,” or the pick-and-choose model of religion that’s driven by our intuitions over our institutions. You’ll hear Tara explain how much of today’s bespoke religions are designed around personal freedom and self-expression. But would Jesus have been pro-self-care? Is society really a cage that must be rejected? And whether we realize it or not, have we let this thinking slip into our understanding of Christianity? Listen now!
