"We saw an amazing mentality shift in 2020. We saw the mass adoption of a shamanistic world view.For years religious groups have been saying that their is a spiritual vacuum in the West and the dangers of that became fully realized during the pandemic.We say the adoption of a new religion. One that flip flopped its way through every town and city in the US and beyond. At its peak we saw ritualistic signs in the super markets with almost cult like announcements over loud speakers.Even today we see people who are self appointed evangelists of the religion forcing their beliefs on others. Wishing to mandate individuals into practicing this new religion. If this had been done by a Christian or other major religious group this effort would have been brutally shut down before it got off the ground and no one would have cared." ~Trent Gander Give the podcast a listen, odds are, you'll hear something new and informational.
