     @cee Ah, I see.
     I was thinking of something like anarcho-conservatism or anarcho-religion, which are both just as doublespeak-ish as anarcho-communism, as the one side (anarcho) if all about no authority, while the other side (conservatism/religion/communism) requires authority in order to exist.

     @ryo well I am a Pandeist, but i do reject *organised* religion (aka the church-state). You do have atheists, agnostics and all that as well obviously.

     probably the smartest thing I've heard a Secular Humanist say :blobgiggle:

     @cee I'm more into spirituality, which is I think pretty different from religion.
     And Pandeism does sound pretty much like that from how you and Thomas put it.
     Religion always feels so cult-ish to me; if you only fail to check one of the many checkboxes, you're not part of the religion.
     Because of this, religion artificially creates constrains that you can't be pro-loli and anti-pedophilia at the same time for example, which is pure bullshit.
     
     All what truly matters is your soul, that's what I believe at least.

     @ryo I had a strict conservative Catholic upbringing; then getting into mum's side of the family, who are mostly progressive Buddhists/Hindus.
     But yeah, i've been to churches and temples, these 2 quotes hit me hard:
     
     "I like the silent church before the service begins, better than any preaching." ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
     
     "I looked for God. I went to a temple and I didn’t find him there. Then I went to a church and I didn’t find him there. The I went to a mosque and I didn’t find him there. Then finally I looked in my heart and there he was.” ~Rumi
