Wow, that's some "paraphrase." But Sal inadvertently makes a good point while trying to make me appear to be a Bad Person. It's the *underpinnings* of the basic TM course that have the appearance of a religion, *not the substance of the course*. Which was *my* point: the basic TM course-- what would be taught to Lynch's kids--doesn't have anything in it that's *intrinsically* religious. The so-called religious component rests entirely with what TM teachers think about it (if they even do--Barry apparently did not, at least at first).
