Depressive Religion: It's Connection to Patriarchy and How It Is Still Used to Control & Harm Women Today
from Create Love Create Freedom
“Depressive religion” is an archetype of religion that is fear-based, shame-inducing, and deeply repressive. This form of religion is especially harmful to women when it becomes entangled with patriarchal power structures. In this episode, we discuss what depressive religion is, how it is connected to patriarchy and the witch hunts, and how it continues to control and harm women today. We also examine depressive religion as learned helplessness and how it represses instincts - especially the feminine instinctual nature, and how other forms of spirituality create liberation, but depressive religion creates dependency and co-dependency.
