Am I the only one who finds it weird when someone ridicules people for being religious or having faith but then turns around and consults tarot cards or performs rituals with crystals? No hate, just genuinely confused at this mindset

as someone who uses crystals but has bibles and rosaries i dislike people who use their religion as a way to excuse their hatred towards minorities or people different than themselves.

Asking this mainly because my grandparents ridicule my cousin for her faith (“How can you believe there’s a God? I thought you were smarter than that” and much ruder things) but then they also believe in supernatural spirits and spiritual energy.

new age spirituality is essentially the same thing as christianity just with different vocabulary

I agree with you completely, feel the same way. I’m more so asking about people who aren’t just criticizing religion as a system but instead constantly make fun of others for “praying to sky daddy” or ridicule them for having belief in a higher power, no matter the religion, but then also engage in spiritual practices.

yeah i don’t understand that either because in a way they talk to a higher power as well whatever deity it may be that they work with.
