Meanwhile in America if you do yoga and/or meditation you're basically a Satanist in the eyes of many Christians.

@SW-User They tried to have a kids yoga thing at a municipal activity center. You know. Animals to pat. Music. Gardens. Concessions. Shops.
The idea to just engage the kids. Do fun things. The asanas are evocative of animals and there were animals there. Meditate. Laugh. Stretch. Have a good time. Maybe calm the fuck down.
Then the evangelicals came down. Said it was teaching the kids black magic, Satanism. I guess that the parents who were into it let their kids do it and those who didn't didn't was too, uh, libertarian.
It became an issue that a community hub was teaching Satanism.
The funny thing is my late wife knew the yoga teacher. She was a seriously committed Christian. She didn't get to weigh in.
