What religion would this be?

Question

- Belief in yourself and your connection to the universe - No begging for mercy, pity, asking forgiveness - Assumes you're a rational human being - Focus on the health of your body/mind - No restrictions/rules to obey - No one to worship

Answer 1

People who describe themselves this way often see themselves as “spiritual but not religious”. Some of the well-known ‘new atheists’ hold a view like this, where they see spiritual practice as valuable for developing as a human, but don’t believe in a higher divine power (though they generally still think following certain ethical guidelines is crucial for self-development and transformation). You might look at Sam Harris (Waking Up: A Guide to Spirituality without Religion) or Stephen Batchelor (Buddhism without Beliefs) as a starting place for learning more.
