Untangling The Deceptive Web of Religion: Why I Hate Religion But Love God

Listen Later

In this episode, Kristen explores the deception in religious dogma, institutions and practices and how it may actually harm our connection with God. Diving into religious notions of worthiness, poverty, performance and sin, Kristen unpacks the most problematic beliefs perpetuated by religion about God. She encourages us to critically reevaluate these concepts through a lens of love and integrity so that we may actually deepen our connection with God.



Other topics covered in this episode today include:

  • How religion and God are actually distinct from one another
  • The deceptive beliefs about God and faith threaded through religion
  • Kristen’s personal experience with religious realms in childhood & adulthood
  • The reason why religion can feel suffocating even if you’re connected to God 
  • Why we often choose religious belief systems from a place of wounding and trauma
  • The illusion of ‘knowing about God’ rather than feeling God’s love
  • Why we can mistake trauma and emotional abuse as love 
  • The original definitions of sin and repentance and how it's been contorted
