If you haven't already seen it, the wonderful free video, "What the Bleep Do We Know?!" is at Google Video at the link below:
http://video.google.com/videosearch?...+we+know&hl=en
David Icke's videos are also awakening and expanding. There are pages of free videos by David available on Google Videos. David Icke 's message, at the base of it all, is all about people's spirituality and how people's innate spirituality has been and continues to be denied the people and how the people continue to be abused by the cabal secret socieities, the Illuminati and at the apex of that pyramid of power, control and wealth, negative alien beings whose object is to spiritually enslave humanity and bend humanity to their will:

Religions are now vying for position, political power and dominance in a struggle for supremacy as the One World Government's, New World Order's, world religion. The Holy See in Rome is the only recognized religious nation state in the world complete with official United Nation's representation and recognition. In response, protestantism is warring for competive political advantage. In the end, there will be some form of One World Government, New World Order religion behind which secret societies and the Illuminati will be seen.
Through my reading of the Christian Bible I came to the conclusion that the term, "the beast," in the book of Revelation is used there as a reference for the church that would take on the quality of the "beast," ripping and tearing, trampling, etc., as it did during the time of the "Inquisition," in "the last days" and in alignment with the political "princes" of this earth.
Below is a book review of "American Fascists: The Christian Right and the War on America" by Chris Hedges, a New York Times journalist.

American Fascists: The Christian Right and the War On America (Hardcover)
Chris Hedges
In a 2004 article that served as the basis for his new book pulling the fire alarm on thuggish Christian fascism, Chris Hedges recalled:
"Dr. James Luther Adams, my ethics professor at Harvard Divinity School, told us that when we were his age, he was then close to 80, we would all be fighting the 'Christian fascists.'
The warning, given to me 25 years ago, came at the moment Pat Robertson and other radio and televangelists began speaking about a new political religion that would direct its efforts at taking control of all institutions, including mainstream denominations and the government. Its stated goal was to use the United States to create a global, Christian empire. It was hard, at the time, to take such fantastic rhetoric seriously, especially given the buffoonish quality of those who expounded it. But Adams warned us against the blindness caused by intellectual snobbery. The Nazis, he said, were not going to return with swastikas and brown shirts. Their ideological inheritors had found a mask for fascism in the pages of the Bible.
...All debates with the Christian Right are useless. We cannot reach this movement. It does not want a dialogue. It cares nothing for rational thought and discussion. It is not mollified because John Kerry prays or Jimmy Carter teaches Sunday School. These naive attempts to reach out to a movement bent on our destruction, to prove to them that we too have "values," would be humorous if the stakes were not so deadly. They hate us. They hate the liberal, enlightened world formed by the Constitution. Our opinions do not count.
This movement will not stop until we are ruled by Biblical Law, an authoritarian church intrudes in every aspect of our life, women stay at home and rear children, gays agree to be cured, abortion is considered murder, the press and the schools promote "positive" Christian values, the federal government is gutted, war becomes our primary form of communication with the rest of the world and recalcitrant non-believers see their flesh eviscerated at the sound of the Messiah's voice.
The spark that could set it ablaze may be lying in the hands of an Islamic terrorist cell, in the hands of the ideological twins of the Christian Right. Another catastrophic terrorist attack could be our Reichstag fire, the excuse used to begin the accelerated dismantling of our open society. The ideology of the Christian Right is not one of love and compassion, the central theme of Christ's message, but of violence and hatred. It has a strong appeal to many in our society, but it is also aided by our complacency. Let us not stand at the open city gates waiting passively and meekly for the barbarians. They are coming. They are slouching rudely towards Bethlehem. Let us, if nothing else, begin to call them by their name."
Hedges's book is a wake-up call to how the Christian-male "warrior" zealots are waiting for the chance to turn America into an Apocalyptic Unmerciful Christian theocracy.
If you believe this is sensationalistic fear mongering, read the book. Hedges is a former award-winning New York Times reporter and mainstream journalist. He is writing based on his research and analysis.
This is not fiction.

The free video at the link below encompasses spirituality, not religion quite well. For me, it is breathtakingly beautiful, wonderous and awe-inspiring - qualities of the one spirit of which we are all a part.

Just my opinion here but, I think the need for primitive governance, psychological counseling and science (in the "knowledge of the world" sense) initiated religion. Spirituality is within each of us, but religion didn't start until some semblances of society (or community if you prefer) emerged. Therefore, I think it's more likely that the above social needs initiated religion, and thus, society makes religion, not the other way around (unlike many of the "America founded on christian principles" crowd would have everyone believe).
BTW I saw "What the Bleep Do We Know?!", It's interesting but I think they went a bit far linking quantum physics and spirituality together. Then again that might be only because of the way I concieve spirituality. You should see how that stumps narrow-minded people, a spiritual atheist, it's like the windows BSOD to them.

Aliens whose genetics, in part, human beings are made up physically, walked among people of Earth historically and still do. Alien/human genetic programs are continuing to this day. Historically and today gods were/are written about based on people's real experiences with aliens who people did/still do accept as God or gods (angels). Then too, there was and still is fear and superstition about the unknown (supernatural). Skinwalker Ranch, being investigated by NIDS scientists, is but one case in point: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skinwalker_Ranch
