Definition
Redirecting Religion refers to the gradual reorientation of religious time, attention, and resources away from hierarchy and control and toward education and humanitarian care.
Context
Within the Yeshuan Model, if religious institutions no longer possess divine authority, their structures are understood as human endeavors rather than sacred mandates. Religion, in this sense, is not abolished. It is reframed.
Redirecting Religion does not require individuals to abandon religious communities. It calls for a shift in emphasis. Instead of sustaining authority claims, resources may be directed toward open education, critical inquiry, and practical care for others.
Implications
This concept supports the transformation of religion from within. Individuals who understand the limits of institutional authority can participate in religious settings without reinforcing coercive structures. Over time, the center of gravity moves from control to service.
Redirecting Religion is not a campaign against churches. It is a reframing of purpose.
Common Misunderstanding
The phrase is often interpreted as an effort to dismantle religious institutions through opposition. The Yeshuan Model proposes gradual internal transformation rather than external destruction.
