Does Going to a Temple or Church Do Any ...

Todd Perelmuter
About this episode

What role do rituals, traditions and religious communities have in an individual's path to spiritual awakening? Can religion help us reach our ultimate potential? Or, are they nothing but superstitions and fairy tales? Do they create positive outlets for spiritual growth, or do they simply further divide our already divided planet?

In today's podcast, I explore the pros and cons of going to church, temple or mosque. I dive into what religions can offer, what we can expect to gain from them, and most importantly, what faith can look like now and in the future in order to provide the most benefit to the most people without the negative and often violent outcomes that we have seen in the past.
