I have never had serious thoughts about religion till now.
I am a little confused if I should ever take it seriously - i like the serenity religious institutions provide - the artwork - the quiet comfort - but dislike the brainwashing and scams.
Would love to know how the community got started with this.
I was agnostic but was pretty sure that none of the popular religions were near the truth.
In the 1990s I dabbled with personal faith.
Since the 2010s, I am naturalist. I don’t know the world is entirely material as it appears to be, but I’m sure spirit and supernatural effects are very, very unlikely. I also know a lot more about biological evolution, quantum mechanics, and cosmology, so I understand how they are improbable.
