Talk of 'spirituality' and 'individual religion' is proliferating both in popular discourse and scholarly works. Increasingly people claim to be 'spiritual but not religious, ' or to prefer 'individual religion' to 'organized religion.' Scholars have for decades noted the phenomenon - primarily within the middle class - of individuals picking and choosing elements from among various religious traditions, forming their own religion or spirituality for themselves. While the topics of 'spirituality' and 'individual religion' are regularly treated as self-evident by the media and even some scholars of religion, "Capitalizing Religion" provides one of the first critical analyses of the phenomenon, arguing that these recent forms of spirituality are in many cases linked to capitalist ideology and consumer practices. Examining cases such as Eckhart Tolle's "The Power of Now," and Karen Berg's "God Wears Lipstick," Craig Martin ultimately argues that so-called 'individual religion' is a religion of the status quo or, more critically, 'an opiate of the bourgeoisie.'"Capitalizing Religion: Ideology and Opiate of the Bourgeoisie" is a landmark publication in critical religious studies.

Prior to 2008 it was not even possible that Bill Vincent would have set down to write about Signs and Wonders. The reason being is that Bill didn't even believe in any manifested signs & wonders. Bill Vincent was a Pastor in Litchfield, IL and was invited to a David Herzog meeting. They said to him come on there will be gold dust in the meeting. Bill responded what is that for? Bill told them he wanted something tangible from God not some gold dust. Little did he know gold dust was definitely from God?
