Americans shift from religion to wellness practices
npr.org —
A new series titled "Losing My Religion" explores the shift from organized religion to wellness practices in America. Over 70% of Americans identify as spiritual, but religious affiliation is declining. The wellness industry, valued at $6 trillion, is increasingly incorporating spiritual elements like yoga and reiki. The series examines how this trend affects people's beliefs and daily lives. Brittany hosts discussions with experts, including Alyssa Bereznak from the LA Times and author Rina Raphael, to understand the appeal of wellness-based spiritualism.
