Regardless of religion, all religions are designed to help you seek self purpose and faithful meaning in life. How do you think taking a creed can help with seeking self purpose and faithful meaning in life?

What do you mean by "taking a creed?"
False and True = False
True or False = True
This tells me, the proper creed is the truth and we should find the proper creed and settle for nothing else but that. God guides to the truth and I've chosen to rely on his guidance to perceive the proper insights.
Success lies in being truthful to oneself, God and others. Lying to oneself, wearing a mask for others, will lead to the soul even lying to God thinking it speaks truthfully.
I understand everyone wants to be accepted. But the first being is God. He existed before us. We can change ourselves, he can't change himself for us but is rather eternally perfect nor should he want to.
By providing a set of foundational assumptions and a structure upon which to build. Doesn't have to be a "creed" necessarily to do this - plenty of religions focus on ritual practice over what is believed about something. In both cases, it provides structure.
For some reason, I'm recalling some of my early days studying life science and the professors going on and on about "structure and function" like it was some sort of dogma. Mostly, they meant to convey how structure dictates function. So it is with religions - their foundations dictate the practices and paths - or the meaningfulness - they provide.

I think that trying on creeds - a set of beliefs or aims which guide someone's actions - is how we seek self purpose. We try on the creeds of others until we get enough experience and practice to fashion our own.
I'm not sure this is true.

What I'm saying is, it might not find you a better way, but it will be a way. It could be the graceful path, a neutral path, or a sinister path.

Go back to '99 and popping in a Creed CD?
Wouldn't that just put me in my own prison?

Although Christianity is a creedal faith, Judaism is not. It's not that Judaism has zero beliefs, it's just that our emphasis is not on those beliefs. Our emphasis is on DOING.

One joins fake-creed/s and get cheated by them in the first place -- becomes atheist/disbeliever in second place -- but finds true-creed at the end.
In this way -- taking a creed can help with seeking self purpose and faithful meaning in life.
Taking creeds = passing through experiences
