I've been spending more time reading about nondenominational spirituality. Something I would have called, possibly, "liberal gibberish" many years back when I was a Christian fundamentalist.
The book I'm reading is called Spirituality: What It Is and Why It Matters, by Roger S. Gottlieb, a Professor of Philosophy at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. It's a delightful book that argues cogently for spirituality rather than religion. I have become more on this side of the issue for about the last five years because I am seeing things about religion that I didn't see thirty, or even ten, years ago.
Religion has done a number of great things in our world, yet, also many horrible things. The issue I have is religious people will assent to the good things, but most will not admit to the bad things. That's not good.
