I may disagree with religion strongly, but I'm into "spirituality", and it feels like religion came out of something genuine, like they were onto something super meaningful and then it got perverted into a 'set of information and rules about how the world operates.'

This is I think why astrology freaks me out. In the vaguely new-age, psychedelic-users realm, there's a lot of "symbolic structures" beliefs that ride a very blurred line of people taking them seriously and I am super not ok with it. Did we not learn anything from religion?

Almost everyone I have personally met involved with psychedelics have had similar views to this one. It may just be the people I associate with in general but I do find it interesting that it is such a repeating pattern.

I know! It freaks me out! I think it's just, psychedelics throw you into such an altered state and you struggle to find something to explain it and then you just pick a thing and go 'yep those are my beliefs now'. Feels very religious to me.

There's a lot of different types of Christianity; what sort of theological belief set do you hold to?

I see it springing from our earnest desire to understand a situation by looking for a deeper meaning to existing. It morphed into a counter for the supremacy of mortal kings, but like any belief system, or fandom, it split into gatekeepers holding claim to the one true meaning.
