    This is a beautiful and useful podcast for anyone who is not religious/atheist/secular etc but also wants to under why people are religious, what human needs and wants religions fill and how you can take the science of religion and apply it to your life without any supernatural beliefs. Highly recommend best podcast I’ve ever found on the topic! Thanks AA team!

  • Ok but seriously flawed

    This series was OK until it got to the homophobia episode. That episode really exposed the lack of thought and understanding these hosts have for people who have opposing views. They strawman every argument, and really did damage to their side. I wanted to give this podcast, an honest shot, and I did, as a deconstructing person of a different faith. However, I can’t listen to people who don’t truly understand their oppositions point of view.

Imagine having a blank canvas to have a dialogue on how to make the world a better place, and the first thing you come up with is "everybody should be forced to join the military". Yikes. There's no way out, America has had its citizens in its fascist grip since the beginning, and convinced them they are free. The constant rhetoric of having to fight an enemy, the war machine that has destroyed ... more

Healing from Religious & Spiritual Trauma [Almost Awakened 186]
Q: How did you begin to heal?
Healing began through reading books that provided an outsider perspective, allowing me to realize that my feelings were part of normal human experience, not just my religion. Sharing experiences through starting a podcast also helped me connect with others and reclaim my voice.
