Because mindfulness meditation is taken from a specific religion.

Also, is "facing your suffering" really "religious bullcrap"?

I'm saying that using techniques taken from religions to avoid your suffering is spiritual bypassing. Please explain how that is "religious bullcrap"

Religions have a history of making up bullshit reasons why suffering and being unhappy is the righteous path. Christianity promises you a happy afterlife for suffering in real life, Hinduism tells you that you're getting karmic credit points for your next life, etc. "facing your suffering" is just another iteration of this.

A more rational take on these teachings is that historically they were a tool of pacifying the masses to accept their abject poverty and squalor without revolting and imploding the social hierarchy. They make no sense in a post-scarcity world.

This is what I mean by religious bullcrap.

I didn't mention any of that stuff though.

Facing your suffering is the only way to understand truly how to solve it.

You can keep running from it if you want but it will just catch up to you.

Says who?

Me.

Hinduism doesn’t have “karmic credit points” and this is a misconception. Karma is the output of the totality of your life and its measurement is cosmically obscured. You can, however, be granted awesome boons by the various deities for extreme selfless acts of devotion —- demons included.

> is taken from a specific religion.

It hasn't been only "discovered" there, definitely not... and even if so, religion or whatever is the truth and noone dare to use it differently ( what OP even not said), bad cultural appropriation or what?
