well-said, Jane. I agree with pretty much all of that, although I think that religion and ritual are pretty inseparable. Ritual is a psychological fixative. Sympathetic 'magic'? A resolute-ness 'proved' by devotion/action? If religion were 'free-floating' and without ritual it would be too whimsical to be called 'religion' maybe?

Maybe I need a dose of 'religion' to improve my unbecoming morning ritual of "hugh? Whassat? (dressing gown on inside-out-legs-through-sleeveses) (stagger)...(fart)"


Argh, I love to hate all these discussions about 'ritual' or 'sacred' or 'religion' because they inevitably reduce back down to the impassable jam of semantics.
