Great commercial. The only community missing is Existentialism. With Nietzsche and Kierkegaard I would join. Religion defined, “a specific fundamental set of beliefs and practices generally agreed upon by a number of persons or sects”.  Believing and practicing the idea that everyone has the right to find personal meaning meets the above criteria. Therefore, Unitarian Universalism can be considered a religion and have the right to church.

@jmgibbs53 Mahatma Gandhi, a Hindu, admired Jesus and often quoted from the Sermon on the Mount. The missionary E. Stanley Jones once met with Gandhi and asked him, “Mr. Gandhi, though you quote the words of Christ often, why is that you appear to so adamantly reject becoming his follower?” Gandhi replied, “Oh, I don’t reject your Christ. I love your Christ. It’s just that so many of you Christians are so unlike your Christ.” He was once refused entrance into a white Church because he was Indian

@acidstars9 True but believing there is NO God is exactly that, a belief because faith is belief. EVERYONE exercises faith in something. Fatih however must have plausible evidence else its nothing but fantasy. For example, I have faith that the sun will come up tomorrow, faith that the Yanks first landed on the moon in 1969. I believe the evidence though I cannot prove it. But if I have belief that there are fairies at the bottom of the garden and i have no evidence then I am fantasising

Hahahahahahaha. "Deeply agnostic."

That is just great.

@brianhyde63 You wouldn't need to go to church to have "faith" that there is no god.

@brianhyde63 The Good Book says that there is a way that seems right to a man but the end of that way is death.

@brianhyde63 I could be termed a Christian Naturalist--I like the naturalistic teachings of Jesus. I see Jesus as a natural human man.

@brianhyde63 The only differences among humans are cultural--this is an artificial difference it is not from Nature. Religions are cultural/artificial contrivances that some humans created in the past for controlling humans and their actions--religions and governments are basically the same thing--a means to organize and control humans.
