I agree with you that far to many people are exploiting religion for their personal gain and benefit. I believe in the new testament it talks about what will happen to to those the are the innocent It will be a price that those people wish they did not have to pay.
Molly often talks about dualism, it is very true and does exist. then it comes down seeking it for yourself My view is very much in trying to walk the way of life Jesus set forward (darma) The path she would recommend is very possible, or you could start by reading the Carlos Castaneda series of book,, they will give a good insight into some of the native american view on spirituality... you can easily skip the first volume it is mainly a university student going after his drugs.. but the other volumes give a good insight into native american beliefs and spirituality.. a reasonable place to start. if you are interested please forgive me it has been years since I read them,

You can see animals lose soul when they get stressed. Maybe a lot of
worry about soul is caused by material deprivation and exploitation by
those using religion for leadership purposes.
There is more to this though - and some of it concerns what Molly
often alludes to in understanding from a different 'place' where
standard impasse stops getting in the way.
