Religion is (anthropologically) the confluence of practice/actions, social expression and concepts. Spirituality is a subjective experience which may or may not be an important part of the ideas about the religion.

Thanks for that. Sure, the memories were... Painful. But I think I have finally begun to understand my phobias of Jello and of church basements. Perhaps now the healing can begin.

Ms. Thinker is a "cultural Jew". Her brother is an atheist and president of his synagogue. Some things can't be explained.

The only time you hear Jesus' name in a UU church is when the janitor falls down the stairs.

ETC "UUC" to "UU"

I worked as a psychologist in a psychiatric hospital. A staff member - a staff member in a psychiatric hospital - asked me if watching Mr. Rogers would make their son gay.

True story.

I think you may have the United Church of Christ confused with some other denomination.

If you protest peacefully and follow lawful orders there is no reason to think that you might fall into such a situation. I would go.

Very nice description.

Also good. I took that class as part of my anthro major, but it was the 70's. I'm ancient.

Could you have confused a (needlessly specific) joke with a smear?
