Let's Talk Religion
Academic religious studies without the flattening — it taught me to read traditions as internally diverse and always changing, never as fixed belief systems.
Filip Holm, a Stockholm-based public educator with a master’s in the academic study of religions, making video and podcast lectures on religion, history and philosophy — from the major traditions down to small, misrepresented schools and individual mystics. Rigorous without being dry.
The channel’s real gift is method. It keeps insisting that religions are internally diverse and change over time and place; that applying a Christian template — founder, scripture, creed — to Hinduism or Islam produces confident nonsense; that the border between “religion” and “culture” is a modern invention. That habit of asking who is defining the category, and in whose interest, is the part I keep.
