What are some religions that include all of these "requirements"? (Read on)

[The Kilted Heathen]

And yes I was being a spoiled rectum in that comment. You know I can't help myself.

I am referring to cases where people feel the need for cultural appropriation for religious comfort or feel the need to find the religion that confirms their biases.

Aye, there are some things that I really raise my eyebrow at. People in America prattling about "karma" when someone gets their comeuppance in the same day, the people who gather everything just because, etc.

Why would you bother using such mythologies to validate your religious beliefs? For example if you do not believe that the myths are true then why engage yourself with them?

I worship who I worship - the Norse Gods - due to personal encounter. I can't explain it very well, but I know the God (well, one of) that I encounter to be Thor, not Zeus. So far as the myths, I hold that they teach stories, not literal histories, and use the Gods as character. Which isn't to say that the Gods are nothing but characters, only that it's akin to modern superhero comics; Marvel uses a God to tell stories and make movies.

If for ritualistic purposes then why not chose your own understanding of why you must engage in ritualism?

Heathenry by and large does this. For instance the festival of Disting way back when was used to charm ploughs and prepare the earth for crop planting. Well, not many of us are farmers these days. So we praise Freyr for a fertile coming year, recognize the coming summer, and some even charm their tools of productivity, not necessarily ploughs. We try not to cling to the past "just because", but change with the ages.

Skepticism is also actually a big thing in Heathenry, and often I've heard "sometimes a thunderstorm is just a thunderstorm." So we very much rebuke blind faith reasoning.

Also sorry for being a bit of a donkey myself![/QUOTE]

• Ancestor worship or ancestor veneration
• Meditation (similar to Buddhist meditation)
• Involves nature somehow
• Either multiple deities or none at all

Satanism. Can include all of these. It depends on the Satanist in question whether they include them.

Ancestor veneration is not very common among us, but not unheard of.
If you count symbolic ancestors, e.g. us being of the blood of Cain, or something along that line, then that's even pretty wide-spread.

Meditation is not a must, but quite common. Many of us work on their spiritual development.

Nature, of course. After all it's about respecting/venerating one's own nature.
The exact relationship to nature/universe is manifold, though. LaVeyans for example have this focus on worldliness and will emphasize humans being animals and therefore part of nature, whereas Setians for example will rather stress what differentiates human nature from the rest of nature. But even the Gnostic Satanists are much more pro-nature (e.g. pro-sexuality) than many other kinds of Gnostics.

The number of deities is also flexible, none, one, two, several,...

As @A Greased Scotsman said, pretty much any for of Paganism is going to fit (and go beyond) those lists. Specific types you could look into include but are not limited to: various types of reconstructionism (where you work primarily with historical Pagan pantheons whether it is Nordic, Celtic, Greek, or something else entirely),

Okay, just to clarify for @Grapefruit's sake, worshipping a historical pantheon doesn't automatically make you a reconstructionist. Recons desire to reconstruct the ancient religions while sacrificing as few traditions to modern sensibilities as possible (things like live animal sacrifice, restored priesthood hierarchies etc).
