What makes a religion?

[Mystic]

I tried to follow your post. It's pretty wordy.

Here's my problem, you asserted that I have a religion. You also asserted that "Yet all religions claim to follow the truth, to be devoted to it."
However, I have never made such a claim. In fact, I do not claim to know what truth is and I do not believe that absolute truth is a real thing.

This is was to do with the outward religions. This was to explain something is going wrong in what all these outward religions are claiming but at the same time, they are following falsehood. There is disconnect to what the outward religion is and what inwardly is happening in them.

What is happening is that they are all at the end following falsehood despite holding the seeking truth and inclining to truth as one of the most important essential virtues of humanity.

What I'm saying you don't have a religion in the conventional sense of the word. But when it comes down to an inward perspective of what is going on (in these people following falsehood), from my perspective, that is happening to you as well (and I see religions come down to two, and the paths come down to two).
