I took various types of folk dancing classes while I was in public school and I hated them, (like most of PE,) because I was a nerdy kid with glasses who wasn’t very good at that sort of thing… Yet, it never occurred to me that I should challenge them on the grounds that they have very faint religious undertones, because, uhmm, quite frankly that idea is absurd. Yoga strikes me the same way, the religion in Yoga is, just not there.

One day, in the not to distant future, “Evangelical Christianity” will be a psychiatric diagnosis in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM V). Whether or not there will ever be a successful treatment for it remains to be seen. It would have to be a secular recovery system, similar to drug and alcohol addiction.
