“... a corner store in the big city, which comes across as non-essential for everyday livelihood”
We see this in our politicians who are at political odds with their own proclaimed faith traditions. Catholic Prime Ministers and Presidents who disregard their own informed morality to prioritize the backwards church-state separation.
To be completely uninformed by your own proclaimed “faith” is a radical departure from classical thought on secular society, although it looks to be the natural outpouring of secularism over time.
“This also seems to be why, in my assessment, that the word religion is not even used to identify Indigenous beliefs and practices, due to the word having poor press in Canadian geopolitics, rather the word “culture” or “heritage” is used instead.”
Good post.

Exactly!
Totally! Well put –– there's a new religion in the white house.

THAT is an interesting observation.
Thanks!
