Wouldn't it be cool if we're living in the middle of a spiritual revival rn?

atheistic religions do exist
these 'pseudo-religion's
are just leaderless atheistic religions

Animism is an example of an atheistic religion
they do not have any gods.

@loganer @realcaseyrollins must be minor, never heard of any and a religion without a god seems like weird contradiction
@coolboymew @realcaseyrollins its actually a really old religion.
it predates most current known religions.

you know how "native americans" are said to have worship the sky and the rocks and well everything natural.
well that is animism .

@loganer @realcaseyrollins but wasn't this still some sort of religion by worshiping spirits and smaller gods? A lot like what Japan had
@coolboymew @realcaseyrollins
spiritual essences that everything contains.
there was no 'gods' there was only the spirits

i personally don't subscribe to any religion .
but animism is definitely an interesting one.
i would definitely not subscribe to anything past Buddhism .
if i was forced to pick one it would probably be animism.
though my family history has been christian.

@loganer @coolboymew @realcaseyrollins The closest thing I have to a religion is the Baha'i faith, but I can't even subscribe to that, I don't think. I believe in a god, or demiurge or whatever you want to call it, though and I consider my beliefs more or less panentheist.
@loganer @coolboymew @realcaseyrollins it wasn't literal worship it was an overall sense of respect for the land and animals, long term sustainable thinking. A better word would be reverence.
@olmitch @realcaseyrollins overall very not popular tho'
@coolboymew @realcaseyrollins there are literally three Unitarian universalist churches driving distance from me right now
Unsure if this is a good thing or not. Altho', one thing for sure is that with the religion becoming unpopular, pseudo-religion seems to have replaced it. The whole social justice thing is extremely similar to one and a lot of their practitioners have turned into crazy zealots
The question is, is there a sort of people who cannot properly function without a religion? If yes, then yeah, religion becoming unpopular has lead a lot of people to fall into pseudo-religion, and not good ones at that
Hell, apparently lately, even Richard Dawkins, basically the father of moden Atheism, is defending religion I heard
