Reality, Truth, Science, Rationality, Logic, Nature, etc.
“No philosophy, no religion, has ever brought so glad a message to the world as this good news of Atheism” — Annie Wood Besant.
ABSOLUTE TRUTH
As the atheists do, worship of ones self
agnosticism
Treating each life as a lesson to be learned.
no religion. yay!
From what I see, materialism.
God wants you to be prosperous, and if you aren’t, then you don’t have the right faith and thoughts.
Thats the way I see things going anyway.
atheism
Just a plain Creator, not God
The next evolutionary step in religion should be Zerotheism, but to achieve that humans would have to evolve so that average human I.Q. would increase from 100 to 140 at least, and some genetic tendencies we carry from our primate ancestors would need to become less significant. so to make things short, homo sapience, as a species, is unable to evolve and relax the need to believe.
It’s a big book, but maybe you could look it up for it’s general concept.
Magic – Religion – Science
Sir James Frazer, The Golden Bough
“To this encyclopaedic survey he added the discussion of the religions of classical antiquity to produce an attractive, if simplistic, thesis: that everywhere in human mental evolution a belief in magic preceeded religion, which in turn was followed in the West by science.”
From comapion to Literature in English by Wordsworth.
Anyone who is serios about Religion, Anthropology etc etc, should take the time to read it.
Bicameral mind integration will free man from the illusions of religion and the political systems it manipulates…
There are no levels in consciousness. Religion is just a recognition of beliefs that we may choose to hold to in the moment. There are many paths to choose from, no one is better than the rest, rather a choice. Some choose difficult paths, some smoooth, some shrouded in mists, others long or short. It matters not. What is important is to notice self. As the poet T.S. Elliot wrote : The great wasteland is where people lead in-authenthentic lives and dont realize it. So, follow your bliss and pay attention to your clues (remember they are not going to be literal signposts for you, but rather symbolic communications to self).

I think Buddhism is the only logical religion. There are no judgements of other people and instead of looking outside yourself, you seek inside to bring out your higher self and attune with the universe. I particularly find Nichiren Buddhism fulfilling. Finally, I have found a religion with no hate, no judgement that lets you take responsibility for your own life instead of blaming outside sources. Just my opinion.
Hmmm…. becoming the Borg or ushering in the Singularity might cut down on our tendency to create non-falsifiable hypothesis, ie semantic null sets. In the meantime we could work more on general semantics.
