humanimalia-9543	Matthews, Paul Robert	Why Animals and Religion Now?	2018	24	.pdf	application/pdf	10939	458	55	Yet, I would like to point toward two developments which, though more or less “external“ to religious studies, have contributed to the turn within religious studies toward other animals and have little to do with thought or reason; although, both “reasons” nonetheless have forced us to rethink or reimagine the possibility of animal religion. While it may still be “laughable” or even “offensive” to speak of animal religion, the time has come, particularly for those of us working in the field of religious studies, to take seriously the possibility of animal religion or, at the very least, to begin to take seriously the challenge of rethinking “religion” from the vantage point of “the animal.”	cache/humanimalia-9543.pdf	txt/humanimalia-9543.txt
