It's interesting what we in the west describe as religion. Unless there is a central text which some schizophrenic claims was voiced to him in an ecstatic state, then it doesn't fit in with our prejudice.
It's interesting to see this behavior from more secular-influenced religious apologists as the arguments supporting their faith center around community and morals and ethics, and not on a foolish literal interpretation of stone/bronze-age texts.
Are the categorizations of religions in need of some shifting to accommodate for their morphing into moral/philosophical modalities versus empirical knowledge claims regarding the universe and it's creation?

Mystic Politics mission is to instigate debate on politics, religion, and science towards a more informed society. Our goals are increasing the authority of alternative media and citizen journalism- and to spotlight political corruption, government conspiracies, religion in politics, and the dichotomy of science and faith.
