- Despite the sexism of male-dominated religions females have found in spiritual practice a place of solace and sanctuary.
- Our savior is our true Mother in whom we are endlessly born and out of whom we shall never come.
  - Help to free women from the bondage of patriarchal religion.
- Exposing the way Western metaphysical dualism (the assumption that the world can always be understood by binary categories, that there is an inferior and a superior, a good and a bad) was the ideological foundation of all forms of group oppression, sexism, racism, etc., and that such thinking formed the basis of Judeo-Christian belief systems.
- To change how we worship then it was necessary to re-envision spirituality.
- Creation spirituality replaced a patriarchal spirituality rooted in notions of fall and redemption. In Hinduism, Buddhism, Voudoun, and diverse spiritual traditions women found images of female deities that allowed for a return to a vision of a goddess-centered spirituality.
- Liberation movements are a fuller development of the cosmos's sense of harmony, balance, justice, and celebration. This is why true spiritual liberation demands rituals of cosmic celebrating and healing, which will in turn culminate in personal transformation and liberation.
- Fundamentalist partriarchal religion has been and remains a barrier preventing the spread of feminst thought and practice.
- Initially contemporary feminism placed emphasis on civil rights and material gains without giving enough attention to spiritualism.
  - Many people still think that feminism is anti-religion. In actuality feminism has helped transform patriarchal religious thought so that more women can find a connection to the sacred and commit to spiritual life.
- Foundamentalism not only encourages folks to believe that inequality is "natural", it perpetuates the notion that control of the female body is necessary.
- Patriarchal religion has successfully used mass media, particularly televison, to spread its message.
- Identifying liberation from any form of domination and oppression as essentially a spiritual quest returns us to a spirituality which unites spiritual practice with our struggles for justice and liberation. A feminist vision of spiritual fulfillment is naturally the foundation of authentic spiritual life.
