Summary:Are people who call themselves "spiritual but not religious" (SBNR) actually practicing multiple religious belonging (MRB)? Or are "multiple religious participation" or "multiple religious involvement" better designations? This article suggests that "multiple religious orientation" fits their practices better. But a subset of the SBNR movement, The Dances of Universal Peace, is used as a case study in straddling the boundaries between MRB and SBNR. It also suggests ways to understand and locate the practices of SBNRs within the MRB discussion.
