Religious anxiety is far too often a home for our hatred.  It lies at the root of each exclusionary boundary we develop and every dogmatic superstition to which we surrender.  It lurks in the mind of every devout adherent or worshiper who believes their god or their faith is threatened or under attack.  Religious wars, genocides, and enslavements—our very worst behavior—are all driven and fueled by anxiety.  Spiritual But Not Anxious traces the root of six primary anxieties that, while certainly reflective of western traditions, can occupy and operate within all our religious traditions and practices.
