Religion is everywhere. Whether we like it or not, it has shaped our past, our present and will continue to shape our future. However, it is a topic that has received scant attention, with the attention that it does receive generally coming in the form of stereotypes or controversy. In this podcast, we are taking a new look at religion to understand what it is, how it influences us and what does it mean to believe. We talk to religious practitioners, spiritual seekers, theologians, philosophers, academics and a whole cast of others to learn about the diverse array of religious/spiritual teachings and ideas in both the present day and historically. If you would like to reach out, please feel free to email me at jack@religionreconsidered.com. I hope you enjoy the podcast.

Professor Ann Taves has spent her career studying religious experiences trying to understand what it means when someone says that they have spoken with God or they have seen an angel or had non-ordinary experiences. In this episode we talk about her work on visions and trances as well as her deep study on the similarities and differences between Mormonism, Alcoholics Anonymous and A Course In Miracles. We also look at Ann’s recent study into people in both America and India and how they view their own ‘non ordinary’ experiences. It is a fascinating look at one of the fundamental aspects of religious belief and how we can better understand it in the modern world.
