UU was fine. I’m not looking for a congregation, so not my cup of tea.
I really liked Buddhism until it got into the mysticism and some of the suburban converts were super obnoxious. I also don’t believe in any mysticism, so Wicca and similar are out. I’d love to believe. I want to be able to do magic.
My best friend is Jewish (converted) and I appreciate the lack of judgement from her and her friends. But they still live varying lifestyles that seem important to them, but I don’t see how it gets me closer to god. Plus, it doesn’t seem appropriate for me.
Honestly, the Satanists resonate the most. But it’s also a religion to make sure religion stays separate from the American government. The point of it is that people who want to live a certain way can do it without a sanctioned religion breathing down their neck or burning them at the stake. You are right about Satanists/Atheists. The Satanists like you aren’t believers, you are just trying to be good people.
But you are also going to get judged in the Bible Belt if you are public about it and told you are going to hell.
Other than supporting the cause, I’m already doing my best to live by the tenets, since before I knew about them.
