How religious life is possible without supernatural beliefs. Drawing on embodied meaning and Jungian archetypes, it can become clear why the traditional attitude to religion as based on belief is inadequate and damaging. Instead, if we recognise how meaning and belief develop in our brains, we can engage with religion in terms of its meaning, avoiding the conflict and repression created by absolute belief. This is a tributary video to no. 5 in this series on agnosticism.
