Its been 5 years since i have left my faith and i am at a place where i would like to learn about religion as whole, in secular sense.Not looking for anti-theist discussions.
I wouldn’t mind if the creator is religious themself as long as they are nice and don’t push their views on the viewer.
I am interested in religious themes, history, mythology, spiritually in general and don’t mind long videos. I don’t have specific religions in mind, rather i would like an array of perspectives. That said, don’t worry if the creator you want to recommend me focus on only one religion or just the Abrahamic religions in general, i am open to any perspectives.
I do have a pile of saved articles and books on religions i want to read eventually, but its been difficult for me to start, so i wanted to try a more passive medium.
Feel free to recommend me podcasts if you.
Not youtube, but check your local library for productions by The Great Courses/The Teaching Company.
They produce videos of actual college courses by professors from schools like Columbia, Harvard, etc.
There used to be one on multiple religions, it was very long (probably 40+ 30 min videos). They’ve since split it into separate courses on each religion.
It’s really amazing, the professors are completely neutral (or perhaps sympathetic/understanding as to the circumstances that birthed each religion). They all approach it from an historical context to develop an understanding of each religion.
TGC also has a couple courses on Pagan beliefs, Nordic religions (for lack of a better word), etc.
I’ve collected about ten of the courses and ripped them to Mp4 and Mp3 so I can watch or listen as I want.
Not sure why so many people decided to downvote your question - it’s good to want to understand human history and the paradigms that developed over time to bring us here today.
I gave you an upvote when you were zero, and someone has already downvoted that. Bunch of Luddites.
