What do you call the belief that God’s are just higher beings on other planes of existence while not believing in manmade organised dogmatic religons?

    Yup. Believing in higher beings from other dimension is just religion with different words. Only when the belief is based on fact and not faith can it not be religion.

      Yes, but there are many different types of religion. You can cathegorize it. If someone asks what a car with a roof you can pull down is called, saying it’s still a car is not helpful.

      I disagree, there are rules and structure to religion.

      Believing in ghosts is not based on fact. But you wouldn’t call that religion.

      Numerology is not a religion. It does have rules, but it is not organised and it doesn’t have a central authority. It is absolutely based on faith though.

        Okay, it’s superstition, of which religion is a variant. There’s a very thin line between having faith in the supernatural and worship.
