I agree.

Frijtfof Capra, also.

But this illustrates my point. As long as non confessional theology does not come back to academy, we open the road of the lack of rigor in the field, and we provide jobs to the charlatans, and retired Doctors.

Actually, theology has been ejected out of the academy, due to such charlatan, and stay out of the academy by the effect of those charlatans and their allies.

Here's a mystic who knew the purpose of religion. I well remember the adulation of Castaneda and how even otherwise sensible people thought his stories were true.

Carlos Castaneda’s Sex-and-Suicide Cult, and the Witches Who Disappeared

by BJW Nashe

Carlos Castaneda’s journey from anthropology student to famous author to New Age cult leader makes for a strange tale that is far more disturbing than anything found in his bestselling books.

At the peak of his career, Castaneda crossed over an invisible line. He turned his back on the clear light of humane, rational thought, and stepped into a shadowy realm of manipulation, secrecy, and lies.

Once he became rich and famous and began facing scrutiny, Castaneda shunned the limelight and spent the next two-and-a-half decades pursuing a bizarre alternative lifestyle largely hidden from the public. He proclaimed himself a shaman and a sorcerer and assumed the role of a mysterious guru surrounded by a group of close followers.
