RfRx - Why Smart People Fall For Religion with Chris Shelton

from Recovering From Religion · host Recovering From Religion

This week on RfRx, join us as we talk with writer and consultant Chris Shelton about his experiences growing up in and escaping the cult of Scientology, helping others escape their cult, getting a Masters in the Psychology of Coercive Control and educating the public about cultic influence and how our emotional needs drive us in opposite directions to what our critical thinking tells us we should be doing. We'll discuss the myth of the "stupid cult member" and what role intelligence and skepticism play in avoiding manipulative and coercive predators.https://linktr.ee/RecoveringFromReligionhttps://www.facebook.com/RecoveringfromReligionhttps://instagram.com/rfrorghttps://www.tiktok.com/@recoveringfromreligionhttps://bsky.app/profile/recoveringfromreligion.orghttps://www.linkedin.com/company/rfrorg
