if those spiritual practices are being used to oppress, as is often the case, then good. We should disregard them.

Should we be respecting those practices?
People are allowed to believe in whatever nonsense they like in the comfort of their own homes, but the second that shit spills out into the real world, it almost universally becomes a problem.
