When people say the word "religion," they almost always mean Christianity. When you hear the word religion on the news, on TV, from people walking down the streets, etc., they almost always mean Christianity. This goes along with the Christian belief that the only religion is Christianity.

In a conversation when someone says the word "religion" to you, do you think of the sweatlodge, sundance, pipe ceremonies, islam, muslim, mecca and the haj, buddhism, praying to trees in the park, speaking to spirits when you're on the hill, thanking the salmon the feed us, laughing, peyote ceremonies, witchcraft, paganism, etc. Probably not. When someone says the word "religion" to you, you most likely think of Christianity.

Decolonize your mind because religion is as individual as a fingerprint. We all have fingerprints, but each one is different. Each one is individual.

When people say religion, it should embrace spiritualities as a whole. When people say "religion" it should not mean Chrisitianity. If people mean Christianity, they should say "Christianity," not "religion." When people mean spirituality in general, that is when they should say "religion."

Don't forget, decolonize your mind and start a Revolution.
