I agree! Egregore is occult so definitely religion-adjacent. But I also believe EA as a concept/community is religion-adjacent (not necessarily in a bad way).
It’s a community, ethical belief, there is suggested tithing, sense of purpose/meaning, etc.
Funny—I don’t think it feels written by a critic, but definitely a pointed outsider (somewhat neutral?) 3rd party analysis.
I do expect the Egregore report to trigger some people (in good and bad ways, see the comment below about feeling heard). The purpose is to make things known that are pushed into the shadows, the good and the bad. Usually things are pushed into the shadows because people don’t want to or can’t talk about them openly.
On the Egregore / religion part
