> religion is about shattering the idea that one is separate from the rest of reality.
Wait. My main issue with religion is that it forces the belief that one is separate from source/God/universe and creates a life long relationship of separation thus perverting humanity's relationship with ourselves and with our own "sacredness" or "divinity" in order to become a middleman to and sell something that was never separate from us. It's really insidious from that standpoint.
unless we speak of Daoism or Advaita, both nondualistic practices, both nonreligious.
