There are many religions and religious beliefs in our world “The most dangerous superstitions”
A religion is a system of beliefs that people buy into and take for reality.
Our world is founded in delusions and beliefs and superstitions.
Many people laugh at a person with a particular belief system, not realizing that they themselves are also a believer in multiple “religions”.
Money and government are the two big “religions” that nearly everyone on Earth completely accepts as real.
- Money - the belief in that pieces of paper, numbers in a computer, have intrinsic value
- Government/Authority - The belief that certain people have the power to rule over us, tax us, throw us in jail for disobeying their arbitrary and immoral rules.
- Politics - the belief that voting in psychopaths and crooks will change your country. The belief that presidential elections are not rigged in multiple ways from the very beginning of the process to the final “vote” so that the establishment’s candidate wins. The belief that having the illusion of choice means that you are free and are not slaves.
- Science - the blind faith and belief in a purely physical science at the exclusion of all other subjective, experiential aspects of existence. The faith in scientific studies that are done by biased individuals for biased corporations and special interests.
- Various Religions - any number of thousands of beliefs in particular dieties, practices, rituals, etc…
- Atheism - The dis-belief in divinity/god which is itself still a belief and completely dismisses the divine intelligence and order in nature that makes it obvious that ……
- Physical identity, race, etc. - the belief that all we are is our bodily form and that it defines us and should be the center around which our entire life revolves. Leads to the ugly ideologies of wokeism, intersectionality, etc.
- Ego - the belief in “I”, in me. In separateness and the reality of the me and my story and thoughts.
Atheists deride theists Followers of the religion of Scientism deride spiritualists
Beyond belief is direct KNOWING Seeing the truth of existence
Seeing that government and authority don’t have any real existence. It is not really that I don’t believe in it. It is that I KNOW that these illusions have no substance, are against natural law, are fundamentally false, anti-human and anti-divine, immoral, objectively false.
