Psyche identifies this as a core tension in contemporary spirituality and discourse, particularly how secular critics invoke Jesus's radical compassion and anti-authoritarian stance while simultaneously rejecting religious frameworks entirely. The show examines how people weaponize religious narratives—especially Christian ones about acceptance and redemption—as rhetorical tools while remaining fundamentally hostile to religious tradition, exposing the gap between spiritual rhetoric and genuine commitment.
