Americans have never been less attached to religion. According to Gallup, only 47 percent of Americans belong to a church, synagogue, or mosque and the fastest-growing religion in the United States is none. But just because we are losing our taste for organized religion doesn t mean there isn t plenty of hunger for disorganized, even messy kinds of faith (if you don t believe me, you ve obviously never sat in a gay bar and suffered through a sermon about your astrological chart). Enter Heather Christian and her idiosyncratic Louisiana mysticism, fascinatingly communicated through a show that is part concert and part séance.
