I often use the term “religion” here so I decided to put a clear explanation what I mean by that.
I’ve heard a nice phrase “religion is an organized system of ideas about spiritual sphere” but it’s not entirely my definition. Religion – on this website – is a way of psychological terror created to make money and hold power. The real evildoers in religion are not the ones who believe in it – they’re the ones who created it. By “religion” I don’t mean Islam, Christianity, Hinduism etc. – name doesn’t matter – what I mean is a system created by someone who realized that by lying to people and manipulate them by fear and fake love, they can achieve their goals, which is always money or power, usually – both.
I understand that most of the readers here are sincerely looking for God and the last thing they want is to lie to someone or manipulate them, and they may call themselves religious, but on this website religious is a pejorative term. For seeking God we’re going to use word spiritual.
So you can be a very spiritual person and at the same time not a religious one, even though you go to church every Sunday and are, let’s say, a Catholic, a Baptist or a Muslim.
You can also be a religious person who is an atheist, though, I doubt you’d be here in this case 🙂
One more time then – religion is a wicked system of manipulation and has nothing to do with God. This is what the word will mean here.
