don't all teenagers dabble in some kind of magical/mystical/religious shit at some point?
i mean some kids join the opus dei (the worst), some spray paint pentagrams all over the neighborhood, some dream of going to nepal, some join polygamous cults, some want to learn the deepest kung-fu, some become wiccans, some read vampire novels, some turn jihadists, etc.
didn't you ever have a spiritual bullshit phase? fess up!

if you don't know who rajneesh is you're missing the point. the problem isn't that they're spiritual, it's that their getting their spirituality from a known terrorist and scam artist. there's a difference in being interested in islam vs. being interested in the taliban
i'm in my spiritual bullshit phase RIGHT NOW
not all teenagers have such a phase, i never had a chance because unfortunately unreligious people are deluded, cruel and unethical in the exact same way as religious people and i was raised by people who grew up under an intolerant atheist regime that brainwashed people away from from spiritual open-mindedness to a level that most religions could never dream of
