Folk religion is valid and just as authentic as the codified institutionalized stuff

In fact, for many, folk religion is liberatory
and I really feel sad when people from the institutionalized versions try to steer people away from their folk traditions

Like missionaries that try to stamp Shamanism out of indigenous Christians
