Hijacked Practices

Societies have so closely associated some practices to specific groups that other groups avoid those practices.

Valentine's Day practice has been 'hijacked' by Christians. People strong in other faiths tried not to be associated with Valentine's Day and are searching for different ways to commemorate Love instead.

Vegetarian practice has been 'hijacked' by Buddhists. Other religions do not promote this livestyle very much as it sounds so Buddhist.

Chakra meditation practice has been 'hijacked' by Indian and Eastern religions. Western cultures view the ideas of Chakra points, inside and outside the physical body, both mystical and unholy.

The practice of speaking in tongues is 'hijacked' by charismatic Christianity. Although Chinese religions, mediums and tang-gi, have the practice of being spirit-possessed.

Chanting is a practice 'hijacked' by Buddhism. Followers of other religions are generally not encouraged to chant like monks.
