There's a lot of complexity here, and I completely appreciate your point about "misuse" of words that are traditionally associated with religion. However, it's a bit redundant to point out that more and more people today are grappling with the realms of experience traditionally bound to religion, but outside of a religious context. There's going to be a lot of overlaps and misunderstanding here as we try to find new language - or new configurations of old language - to express this.

In the end, the immediate context here is that we're discussing things on a forum set up by Julian Cope - and I thought there would be a little more leeway for non-religious use of religious language than is usual in the mainstream. If we can't talk about it here, where can we?
