This thread was inspired by @We Never Know 's thread you can check out here.
This is possibly the best video that helps explain what the term "religion" means. And yes, I know that what "religion" and being "religious" means are two different things, but both are intrinsically similar and...
I made this poll awhile back that asked the lovely people here at RF if they were a "believer" or a "skeptic", and there was a healthy amount of replies from both groups of people. In the end, however, believers slightly outnumbered skeptics 20-17. The thread was so famous that @The Hammer...
I have seen a bunch of folks do these sorts of posts lately so you know why not? If you want to ask this cat named paragon anything go right ahead. I am an open book.

I'm feeling good today, and I'm gonna post some of my normal prayers I do for the day here, so that other people can enjoy them as well. I like to pray to Feyhan for luck before I go out on walks, or even shopping and I feel he helps me find little fortunes I would not otherwise. I hope this...
Hello everyone. I'm super new to forums in general, but I've been looking for a community I can chat with and see other walks of life.
I follow Tyetism, it's a polytheistic belief with its own independent pantheon but also encompasses Omnism type stuff in many ways. We believe in helping others...

Refugee: What is the impact on a Muslim. According to Koran?
I am curious how Koran experts solve this problem.
Koran 5:51:
O you who have believed, do not take the Jews and the Christians as allies. They are [in fact] allies of one another. And whoever is an ally to them among you - then...

Was just quickly looking up demons in Zoroastrianism to see if it has similar references, then just realized they're all character types that are talking about us, like all the other religions; yet I'm wondering when religious people read this, do they realize it is talking about themselves...

I was just wondering if any of the atheists on here had religious traditions they were partial towards? I can think of a few folks like Richard Dawkins ( church of England) or Sam Harris (Buddhism) who are atheists but still have sort of a soft spot for some traditions. Personally I have a soft...
From the looks of things in previous threads I am missing out on something but not having had a religious/spiritual experience in my life. At least none that I would qualify as real or as grand as others have claimed to have had.
So what does one do to have a religious experience? Is there a...
