Good explanation. The conflation, or belief in overlap of these two concepts is the biggest misconception of religious studies that I see among laypeople.
@@mattzeigler110 That's a UA-cam glitch, not sure what causes it. It often prevents me from posting large and long comments making nuanced arguments with sources, even when I omit anything which could be construed as objectionable as well as all links. Even when that's agreeing with the content creator I'm commenting under; and it's instant, the comments just never go through. It's just a UA-cam glitch, or a misfire of whatever comment safety algorithm they have. It definitely has nothing to do with the uploaders. If you're shadowbanned, none of your comments will show up under any circumstances, and if they're holding comments for approval, they wouldn't be deleted or posted instantly.
I know youre speaking to your audience, and they will mostly think of Theism as their model of what a religion is, but when your not speaking in shorthand, Id ask that you remember that many religions are not "faiths" and practitioners aren't believers; in the Santana wisdom traditions, devotees are practitioners of an experience based "religion".
A unique aspect of Judaism is that Study itself is a major component of religious practice. 😊
A rabbi once told me that religious study was a form of worship. ❤
Thank you for organising and presenting this information.

I am coming around to the conclusion that the very last place I am going to find true enlightenment is on the internet.
Word.
It is like the tension between music critics and creative musicians
