RELG 2660 - “Spiritual But Not Religious”: Spirituality in America

Effective Start Date: 09/28/2016
This course asks: what does “spiritual but not religious” mean, and why has it become such a pervasive idea in modern America? We’ll study everything from AA to yoga to Zen meditation, with stops in Christian rock, Beat poetry, Abstract Expressionist painting and more. In the end, we’ll come to see spirituality in America as a complex intermingling of the great world religions, modern psychology, and a crassly commercialized culture industry.
