Day 06

The Japanese Unitarians firmly believed that everything was religion. Politics, commerce, and education were all religious. This is why pastors later run for public offices and the richest gave their money to pastors. The thesis that every sphere of human life is religious is a modern take of Shintoism. If everything is sacred, everything is religious. If you dont like that word, you can say, everything is spiritual.

Mention Australian aborigines and songlines.

I feel though that religion and spirituality has krept into politics and commerce in a very unhealthy way that this thinking needs reinterpretation.
