The WEIRD Reason People Are Turning to Religion in 2024 

Something different today...let me know if you want more like this!

After deconstructing Christianity I genuinely cannot go back, to any Abrahamic religion. God to me is everything that is and isn’t. Existence itself. I think everything has its purpose tho, we all came here to have our specific experiences. No one truly knows what is next. We just believe what resonates. But in the end we will all meet our maker and see the truth

i am catholic so i have a religion but i absolutely love spirituality. i feel like more people are becoming open to spirituality/metaphysics while also keeping whatever religion they have and i feel like it’s so beautiful💕

I "woke up" in 2012 after fasting and doing yoga. I later went on to teach yoga and even created a youtube channel for chanting and teaching "new age spirituality". I always felt not good enough and felt like I never had a enough knowledge so I would keep seeking and buying all kinds of spiritual books and looking into all the different religions for answers. I finally got fed up and said a prayer "lead me to the truth, the absolute truth." I have tons of spiritual books but after this prayer I lost my desire to continue down the never ending new age rabbit hole. I was drawn to read the bible for the first time ever. I found a 365 plan and im still going strong 4 months in. 4 months in and I can say with conviction that Jesus of Nazarath is the way, the truth and the life. God with a capital G not the false idols has renewed my mind through the word. And believe me I have done it all Mother Ayahuasca, San pedro, affirmations, yoga, meditation etc etc. But something was missing. I was missing what the new age will not and refuses to teach you that there is good and evil and the only way to be saved is to repent your sins (because we are born sinful) and believe that Jeesus did die for us. It might aound crazy but think of how the new age teachings sounds to someone who is "not woke". If I was not saved I would still be on the never ending search for a truth that Satan didnt want me to have. And yes the "war" in Gaza (geno*cide) did trigger this too. I said to myself if pure Evil exists like this (killing of thousands of innocent women, children and men) than that has to mean God is real. And did all of those inncocenr cilvilians 'manifest' this horrible war to themselves? No one can ever answer why horrible things like 9/11, the holocaust, the Geno*cide in Gaza happens if we "create our own universe" and yes I was a seld proclaimed "manifestation teacher" and I couldnt answer these questions ans neither could anyone in the new age community either. I will not push anything on anyone as I know we all have our own path to walk but If you are like me and you are tired of the never ending rabbit hole and want the real truth and have never read the bible I would suggest you keep an open mind and read it. Through the word your mind will be renewwed and you will start to open your eyes for real. Thank you God and thank you Jesus for calling me back and not letting me go further astray. By grace I was saved 🙏🏽 ps* I also recommend watching The Chosen not to replace your bible reading and studies but to use as a visual aid to help your studies.

Grew up in a religious household, erred on spirituality for the past ten years, then came back to God through spending more time in nature. God and Jesus are dope

This is definitely true. It’s happening all around me as well and within me. I’m being lead to study the Bible and connect it to the deep spiritual truths I’ve experienced and learned about during my spiritual awakening.

“I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.“ John 14:6

I've been craving spiritual connection like anything lately! I try to meditate every morning and I went few days without meditating and I felt so crappy and anxious!!! I definitely feel it!

“The light is coming to take back everything the darkness stole” 🎶 I definitely felt a shift in my spirituality last year too. I’m hoping with these wars don’t try to make it all religious related. Lord knows they love to do that 😢

I can 100% affirm. I’m a Pisces in my sun, mercury & Uranus. In februari I gave my life to Jesus. God is now the most important thing in my life and it has really set me free. So this video is so accurate. Just got home from a church service🥰🌞. Have a blessed week everyone God loves you 🤍

Omg yes. Been having an existential crisis over this topic for some time now... Glad I’m not alone! Thank you for this.

It's so interesting though the language of "it was Satan"... I've seen that ALOT too when people talk about this transformation and shift in their life. I sense there's an element of blaming on someone else outside of you instead of integrating the parts within you that need to be addressed.

I 100% agree. A lot of people turn to organized religion when they need structure or are struggling a bit in life. The one thing I will say about spirituality is that it will force you to do the shadowwork. A lot of people turn away to organized religion when that shadow work period gets too hard. It's because there is more of a community in organized religion than general spirituality.

This is definitely the new grift, when things get tough, religion becomes the baby birds nest.

Yessss so many are turning to Jesus and Christ. I love Jesus and I believe in god and resonate with those who are “Christian”. But I still follow my own way. I love Jesus, and he always answers my prayers but I am not religious! I am open minded and spiritual through and through, I believe in energy and love. I won’t ever go back to being religious. I love tarot, reiki, crystals, yoga eastern and Chinese, Japanese and ancient Egypt spirituality and Jesus and the universe. I believe that Mary Magdalene was Jesus wife and that she was a scholar/ disciple. I believe in it all. Christ is returning! In our consciousness and he’s not punishing us he loves us ❤️ god is returning to earth through us ❤️

Anyone else getting HELLA flashbacks to pandemic-era Leeor vids??!? The whole vibe of this reminds me sooooo much of videos from that time. It makes me think of the great awakening-type theories. It’s like giving birth, the contractions (of people flocking to spirituality) keep getting closer. I know i might now have explained that the best way, but if it has any merit you guys will understand. Anyways, enjoyed it as always! 🩷❤️

Love these subjects. I was also called "back" to God a few months ago, that I needed God to be in the front of my life. It is bringing me some much needed relief and hope as I feel that I am finally conquering what has been holding me back, which is myself and my thinking. I am Lutheran and uncertain as to whether I really want to return to the church.

I have definitely felt a pull to god myself and have seen family return to religion. I am currently working through connecting to god vs returning to religion.

Hi Leeor, I went to Rythmia the same time as you in November 2019. I recently became Christian summer of 2023. Only because of all these wild synchronicities. I was on a backpacking trip near Seattle and a random person on the trail told me I should go to Athey Creek Church, then when I went to visit my mom at her retirement center in Courdelene Idaho a resident told me to go to Athey Creek Church. So two different people from out of state told me to go to a church that is 5 minutes away from where I live. Also at the time I would synchronistically see Jesus stickers everywhere and at the last festival I went to I saw a sign that said Jesus is watching you. I l followed the synchronicities and started going to that church and then became a Christian 2 months later. After I became a Christian the Jesus and church synchronicities stopped. I’ve also gone all in and have been fasting and getting deliverance from emotional issues I’ve been going through.

Loved this so much Leeor thank you!! ❤ I’ve also been noticing this! In others and myself as well. A desire to go deeper. I have always been spiritual and never part of any religion, but the other day I was listening to a video about Jesus and found myself just sobbing at the love/purity/beauty of his heart, it made me feel so connected to him and a desire to learn more about him and what was written about him. (I wasn’t going to write a comment out of fear of being judged, but reading others comments made me feel safe to share in this beautiful space) ✨❤️🫶🪽🛸 sending everyone so much love!

Going to watch this very soon. I know it will be absolutely spectacularly, blissfully amazing. Thank you, Leeor!! 🙌🏻✨💚🙏🥳

I've been scrolling on RU-vid all over the weekend about this topic, like right now... and you upload a video. Love to see your POV on this! ❤😂

Thank you for sharing Leeor! Your impact, sharing, and teaching is infinate. Thank you for staying strong. Pisces here and I just feel at home, at peace, determined, faithful, and strong. I see my dreams and visions always. Its taken years to form routines and multiple consistent practices (yoga, workout, nightly chores, wake up routine). I am not perfect but the things I believed I needed to cultivate to get closer to my dreams, are now part of who I am. I was recently at a huge personal growth conference , while the host himself doesnt claim christantity nor belief in God, nearly all of the speakers referenced God. Certainly more than half. Within the room, the mention of God always got enthusiastic cheers. My boyfriend and I participated in the conference together. And by day 2/3 we were certain it was a theme and kept looking at eachother when God was mentioned over and over and over. Also I looked up the meaning of the word grift.. but no I do not think it is a grift. Sending strength to all #wegotthis (sorry for typos/errors)

This is so spot on. I’ve seen it increasing since last year. Not only famous people but also people around me . Definitely something is happening and is intriguing. I love how you’re always diving deep and sharing perspectives ✨

Saw the title and immediately resonate! Less with organized religion but definitely more people in the spiritual community going back to "God". Whatever that means to us/them. I see this too. ❤

I absolutely love this content. I have noticed the little signs of this mass collective awakening. First with one of the eclipse reporters mentioning spirituality and reminding to pay attention to our feelings during the eclipse ON LIVE NEWS. Then finding Ram Dass’s Be Here Now at a local book store. And moreeee! I am also reluctant to assume it’s a grift because everyone’s journey is unique and very real to them. Sometimes that’s just the beginning to finding God, or one that makes sense to you. We never understand everything at first glance-or ever in the flesh at least. It’s all part of this school of life so individuals will (hopefully) accept and adopt new ways of thinking as their experiences challenge them. Life gives us opportunities to make choices and it’s common to ‘lose the way’ but that allows us to find it again. Though, feeling lost or stuck is part of the path so we’re never actually lost because God or never loses us. This gives me so much joy. Thank you, Leeor, for sharing your thoughts and extraordinary wisdom as always💗

Organized religion provides a level of stability and a clear path. Without structure and repetition, people are bound to go off course, back into the things that caused them to seek out “God” in the 1st place. We are in times of instability, in terms of economics and world events. We also just went through Covid, which changed a lot of our perspectives and mindsets. I think because it forced us to look outside of the material and find meaning and purpose elsewhere. I’m very glad that some women are leaving that profession. I don’t have negative thoughts about women who do that work, but I know it weighs heavy and is an abusive industry. I love this video. So excited to see you do a new series/type of video. I loved your podcast. May need to re-listen to it. I will say, I’ve been reading religious books, and I think that the issue is in interpretation. Most people are told what something means, instead of reading it themselves. I’m actually shocked by the narrative surrounding certain verses and stories, as I got completely different lessons from them, having not been heavily indoctrinated as a child. Blessings to everyone 🖤🤍🖤!

So interesting! I can definitely say I've been noticing this return to religion/God in the SM spiritual influencers I follow! As well as for myself, like in the past month I've felt a deep yearning for God, (been a Christian basically my whole life) and this return to him and seeking his presence and asking for guidance and being in praying so much has been so deeply healing and freeing, like I can finally take a deeper breath! Had an ever deeper shift in this today in a breath work session! I'll watch anything you post Leeor, so go for it!

YESSS this has absolutely been a theme in my friend group as well! The collective is certainly shifting

You really have a way with words that helps make sense of the world and helps me organise my own thoughts. Thank you Leeor, your wisdom is so needed In this world Xx

I can resonate to this message and also karmic healing! 🙏🏽✨ I love your quote, “God is for everyone because God is everyone,” well said! Love ya’ll😊

this is so spot on! ive been thinking extremely similarly lately and here you are with this video!

So beautiful Leeor ❤️

I love how you relate the energy to patterns and symbolism and connect the Divine to astrological meanings as well as your religion!! It is inspiring because for me personally organized religion seems so closed-minded, but I am aware that you too are religious but are also very well aware of astrological placements and spiritual energies and practices and are also psychic!! that gives me hope, that maybe not 1 religion is true, but all of them all at once! That makes me more hopeful to find my place in how I choose to worship/acknowledge/establish my connection with the divine, because I have been very confused on how I should go about that as of recently.

Definitely interested in the next video, all of your videos ❤ thank you for your content.

Thank you very much Leeor

This is so real!! I love that you made the connection to this with that Saturn in Pisces theme! Thank you for this!

Just started the video. This topic heavily resonates with me. I was raised catholic but never went to church and identified as agnostic for most of my adult life. Easter 2024 I watched an online church service with my family it was very casual but still really made me feel good and connected. Since then, the last 2 weeks I’ve been heavily considering going to church etc… I don’t even fully believe in Christianity I’m more into Buddhism and Jewish mysticism (Kabbalah) but just the feeling of going to church and creating time for a spiritual connection is important to me. It’s crazy how you made this video because I really am feeling a return to religion. I think because of capitalism and modern life we have all lost connection to nature and spirituality and people are deeply seeking those things now.

Yes!! Feeling this. Completely have come back to God this past year 💫

Yes! Lots of spiritual shops opening in my town for the very first time! And a few weeks ago I picked up a new book that is helping me get closer with God ❤

Yes Leeor 🧡 ..would love to hear more videos about this 🤗

Love this video! I’ve been wondering a lot about this lately

This is all so interesting to me. I definitely feel it. Thank you for sharing ❤❤

I feel like there has been a lot of people I'm seeing that are turning around and saying spirituality is 'bad' and returning to christianity, which to me seems weird and cultish (so maybe yeah a bit of a grift). Personally for me they are kind of one and the same, dismissing one for the other seems counterintuitive.

I’ve definitely felt this all of last and this year. Thank you for your videos. I’ve always thought everything was connected and that religions are all saying similar things but just saying it in different ways and interpretations. It’s nice to see someone confirm something similar. Love how you explain things. ❤

As someone in a 12 step program, anyone may join regardless of religion. And it's highly encouraged to find a God OF YOUR UNDERSTANDING. We have people from all walks of life, regardless of their religious backgrounds. Sure, there are some Christians, but there's a lot of spiritual people as well, like myself. It's not a gateway to Christianity. It's a gateway to live a happy, joyous, and free life without the use of drugs and alcohol. I understand why people who aren't in a 12 step program may assume it's religious based bc of the word God mentioned in the steps. But I'm here to clarify that it is not. 💚

Yeah! I've missed these relaxed chatty videos about your thoughts and ideas! Definitely would like to see more 😊

SOOO good Leeor! 💜🔥 thank you for this breakdown!

Much love!! Thank you Alexandra!

I'm so earlyyy, i love you leeor I hope you're doing well, sending big positive energy to you and to everyone ❤❤

Love the idea for the next video!! would love to hear your take.

I recently started my journey to strengthening my relationship with God. In addition to my spiritual practices i recently started going back to church and reading the bible.

I love this!!!!!🔥🔥🔥

So aligned love. Today I was in Avebury, (close to Glastonbury - a sacred stone circle, Glasto = Earth’s heart chakra & current third eye chakra), and I saw this book that grabbed me Reclaiming the Gods: Magic, Sex, Death and Football Book by Nicholas Mann - it interested me because I love football, and Spirituality so I just loved it. I flipped to the blurb and it said about reclaiming the Gods. I didn’t buy it, but when I watched This video just now.. what you said resonated with that part on the blurb about reclaiming the God’s! It was published in May 2022! Xxx

At least in my life, I’ve noticed myself and people around me become increasingly aware of Spirit in their own ways. I hope this resonates on a bigger level and brings our humanity, no matter what religion or creed, closer to the Divine. I love when you craft videos like this Leeor and would be interested to learn more!! Much love and light ❤❤

I just seen your thumbnail before going to sleep, while i was practicing my chinese and the word for rice is pronounced 'mifan' and i was laughing thinking it made me think about only fan (only good intentions and vibes behind it ) and this + many readers of energy who link each and every one of us to our own lineage of belief or communication with ancestors. I never felt drawn to religion but that was before I started believing that we were our own divinity living a humble human life, im veryyy grateful for that video ❤ Maybe God ia making a comeback in many hearts ❤

I had my Saturn return in the 9th house in 2021 so for me it has been the total opposite. I finally feel free from the Jehovah’s Witness religion where I spent my whole life. And ai can say for sure, I am never ever going back there

Completely agree 🔥 my progressed chart has had Saturn going through Pisces since September....LOVE your insights on this aspect🙏🤍

Wow! I’ve been tracking the return to religion 🤔 the Saturn in Pisces is 🤯

After the Oct 7th I started feeling like I need to get closer to Judaism and maintain the tradition, I also became a mom and I feel that I want my child to be familiar with the beautiful parts of the tradition and in order to do that I need to Incorporate Jewish practices (I still dislike some parts of structured religion). I decided that I would have a Jewish home according to what fits our family ❤️ love your content 🪬Leeor❤🇮🇱

Interesting bc I seem to be going in the opposite direction.. I started very spiritual and all about connection to universe/god, and then went into doing only fans because I see it as a way to grow and learn, to develop myself and become better... everything is spiritual depending on how we look at it. thank you for this video and your perspective!

❤❤❤❤more of this content please 😊😊

this is really interesting, thank you! i've been feeling the call towards spirituality and although i'm not 'religious' i've been feeling called to learn more about the prophets. i'd love to hear about the overlap between religions and their inherent wisdom in more detail!

I love youuuuuu my little precious babyyy

Love love this content.. thank you 😊 . I’ve been noticing it as well. Very on point observations ❤

Thank the LORD! We live in very dark times., He is the TRUTH & The way! About time. Praise the Lord!

I absolutely love this topic. I agree with Leeor that in times of war or great suffering, people return to faith. But also if you want to be biblical, this happens as we get closer to the end times as well. I definitely think there are some people out there with bad intentions so be keep your eyes open and be wary of grifters and charlatans online and in organized religion.

I think people are looking for something to believe in because they don’t like their lives. They think that religion is going to change their life. But in reality, only you can change your life. You don’t need a religion to do better, be a better person and believe in the divine creator. All you need is yourself.

I’ve noticed it too! Also within myself

Loved this Leeor! Curious to know more about the parallels and mysticism shared with religions

I ❤ Jesus Jesus is oneness 🤲🏾

I'm definitely seeing it with me and everything and everyone around me. I've been praying more frequently. I'm going back to church and I am coming across a lot of Christianity content. ❤

Wow I'm amazed someone noticed this too. A friend of mine went back to church last year around the time Shia LaBouef did the movie about Padre Pio.

also pls let’s appreciate me being available for this in the same timezone😭

Like honestly this gives me the thought of i dont just want to “sight see” I want to spiritually see from within 👏🏼

OMG!! Yes - I have felt this within myself. I broke away from Christianity/Catholicism not because I was angry with it or hated it but I was seriously questioning things. I soon started a quest to learn different things and that eventually led me to paganism. I love the Earth and all that esoteric knowledge but recently I have had this amazing newfound connection to Jesus - without being religious. I am loving it. I do think about going back to church etc because of the community aspect of it. Connecting with people who love God etc. I was devout Catholic and loved it, but my views then were very fundamentalist/traditional and now i am NOT that way at all. I completely changed. I am very liberal in my views and like you said - as long as people don't hurt others, I want freedom and love for everyone. Some churches are very fundamentalist, but I do know that many people are changing and awakening to their own beliefs as they attend Mass/Church. I have found many who agree to never judge and just keep their thoughts and focus on their own journey and building a stronger connection to the Divine. I am excited for these times, and I am seeing your video as a huge confirmation - so Thanks. Much Love!

you look stunning! omg (also yes would love more content like this babe!)

My Saturn is in Pisces in the 4th house (defining boundaries) and this year is my Saturn return. I’ve had such a strong pull to really *truly* see myself and like you said reform those spiritual habits and practices. It’s been very difficult but your videos always help me understand myself more and you’re such a light. Thank you Leeor. 🤍

This has definitely been around in the collective. Even myself, I have been called to build a stronger relationship with God. But I don’t resonate with organized religion because it often comes from a place of disempowerment and begging for this “GOD” to save us.

Yes! More of this content please. Also would love to know more about your background like you were talking about studying Greek mythology.

I noticed that in my self and the ppl around me too for the last few yrs as we’ve grown older and more mature we have gotten closer to God. I grew up Catholic and have Jewish friends too but we never even talked about it that much but I definitely see a difference now. I love and enjoy Christianity and respect other religions as well. Especially with so much evil and craziness in this world nothing makes sense if we dont have God with us.

I am reading and doing the exercises of the book Course of Miracles. I am in a group, and every Sunday, we have our meeting. It is helping me so much to have a real connection with God. I always wanted to have a better relationship with God, and I've explored many options. In my opinion, everyone needs a relationship with God (love). Because everyone is part of it. ❤ we deserve to be love and acceptance just because we are here, we are part of God, and we are innocents. Guilt is one of the worst thing that we have been carrying on in our entire lives.

Super interesting topic especially since the churches in my country have been struggling to get (young) people interested in their religion etc. and this has been coming up in my surroundings as well even though I don’t particularly feel aligned with christianity but there has been a bigger interested in studying them at my university

I recently found Jesus Christ. 💙 I’ve always been a “live and let live” mentally so I’m still learning how that relates to being “saved”, but I definitely heard and felt my calling to Him

Definitely more of this!!

Im so happy to hear u say that religion is to bring us closer rather than bring us down. Im a pisces, and im felt so connection to Aproditie the Goddess. Even thou im part of hinduism. So glad to hear ur open mindedness of pagans im so curious abt the Goddesses ur drawn to. ❤😊 Ps happy to watch ur videos again.

You are god. Psalm 82 1 Rescue the weak and needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked. "They know nothing, they understand nothing. They walk about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken. "I said, `You are "gods"; you are all sons of the Most High.

The way we turn back to a/ the God(s) when the world is in shambles is actually the thing that keeps me away from it. And I am not saying I haven't had those moments as well but why do, especially the abrhamitic version only come through when you've been through a human and or spiritual "hell"...just rubs me all the wrong ways. But I am also admittingly a bit jelly for everyone who can choose 1 path and only one in the 101 to choose from.

I don’t think people turning to God and curious about learning more about him and Christ is a grift. It’s an awakening as well. I have been in the awakening journey for years and I am also going back to church and Christ. Because of the connection and calling I have from him.

So many people are finding God but I don’t think it’s a ‘trend’ (yet). It feels so genuine and synchronised. Myself, close friends, people I watch on RU-vid… it’s so refreshing and grounding to come into spirituality for yourself, in a new, resonating understanding. Would definitely like to see more videos like this!

Thank you! ⭐🌹😘💕⭐ Honestly, if someone in my life got into organized religion I would ghost them, mourn the loss, and move on. ✌️

Yes to the next videos

Hi leeor 💜💜✨

Leeor, sweetheart, you embody God with your words of kindness, love, and empowerment to us! Thank you! 😊❤️

Religion can keep us apart. Not because of the message, but because we're still processing humanity's ego and religion is used as an excuse to do horrific things. Religion keeps us apart most of the times. Spirituality is the breaking free of any limiting belief or anything created by the ego.

It’s a grift, people are scared, too many things are happening and they need to hold on onto something familiar. I hope we don’t go back to the dark ages, people can never keep a balance, it’s always one extreme or the other.

god was never losing and never left

You are the temple ❤❤❤❤

I have been feeling this way since late March

I've noticed it too! (But not within myself ) You talking about it makes me think what is going on?
