Atheistic religions

[ComradeMeow]

I know many here have no concept of religion, but yes there are such things as atheistic religions.

There is Satanism, Paganism, and certain schools of thought in Satana Dharma like the Mimamsa school who deny both gods, reincarnation and spirits. These are 100% naturalistic philosophies and even Atheistic Hinduism is reemerging in mainstream Hindu thought. Many strides in secular Buddhism which deny reincarnation and other supernaturalistic effects is also a thing. Shintoism in Japan has become primarily naturalistic and focuses on ritualistic rights.

You even have people like myself who are just pagans yet deny all aspects of the supernatural so yes we do exist. Hence my bickering about religion and its usage of woo.

I would also like to add that gods just like vampires are not real but can hold as much meaning to a person as they like. Gods are great for ritual and storytelling, but they are not great for explaining the world around us. Leave that to the sciences and competent people who are doing the work gods don't do. I still have a lengthy journal of pagan prayers to Minerva and al-Kutbay but even when I wrote them I had no belief in their existence. I used it purely for poetic purposes and named the journal "The Adorations" and I used it for expressing opinions I held about wisdom and primarily moral philosophy.

Point being though, do not throw everything into the same pot because even Yahweh is a great metaphor of a bad parent.
