Years back when I was an Agnostic Teenager, I used the term “energy” a lot as a substitute for the term “Spirit”.

I’ve noticed some Christians doing it, too. Is it more socially acceptable? The word has a strict definition in science, but a “good vibrations” meaning colloquially, with no agreed upon definition.

Whereas”spirit” has an agreed upon meaning, as in something that exists non-materially.
