That’s also ancient religion, aka modern spirituality. Ancient religion wasn’t about a personal connection with god, by my understanding, but about a lens you reason through for all activities in life. You garnered a connection to community, to the world, and to the spiritual via seeing yourself as a fundamental piece of all these matters. Modern religion is, as I understand, more hyper-individualized and about a personal connection to god.
It’s really rough to just grab the experiences of dozens of billions of people and lump them together into two categories, separated only by the time they lived in.
It’s hard to make a more generalized and less nuanced statement.
