    That’s also ancient religion, aka modern spirituality. Ancient religion wasn’t about a personal connection with god, by my understanding, but about a lens you reason through for all activities in life. You garnered a connection to community, to the world, and to the spiritual via seeing yourself as a fundamental piece of all these matters. Modern religion is, as I understand, more hyper-individualized and about a personal connection to god.
