Childhood indoctrination into religion induces psychological trauma - Darrel Ray

Описание: C/W: brief discussion of child rape

_________________________________________

Today I spoke with Dr. Darrel Ray, the founder of the non-profit organizations Recovering from Religion and The Secular Therapy Project.

We touched on many topics, including:

• How a profound understanding of anthropology, sociology, and psychology deeply affect our view of the world and ourselves.
• Understanding how the topics of sexuality, fear of hell/Armageddon, and social isolation create intense trauma for those who are leaving their religion.
• Realizing that Christianity is just another form of ancestor worship.
• Understanding how childhood indoctrination into religion can induce immense trauma.
• The importance of healthily working through the freedom and new choices that arise post-deconversion.
• Unraveling the shame and guilt that are prevalent in religions.
• The importance of knowing and being comfortable with your own self sexually and to embrace eroticism of your body and mind.
• Understanding that Christians are addicted to the "spiritual porn" of their fantasy worldview, where they are more in love with their fantasy world than with the reality of this world.

Many thanks to Dr. Ray for sharing his story and amazing insights with us today!
