SPIRITUALITY IS FAR BETTER THAN RELIGION

A spirit is a thought or an emotion

A religion is a binding faith to an organized set of beliefs or to a religious organization.

SPIRITUALITY CAN INTEGRATE ALL HUMAN BEINGS INTO ONE WHOLE HUMANITY.

RELIGION SEPARATES US INTO GROUPS OR SECTS.

A god is a spirit.

A spirit may insist in one's mind; but no spirit can ever exist in reality.

THE TWO GREATEST SPIRITS ARE CARE AND LOVE.

A benevolently spiritual person may care very deeply about oneself
and also care very much about ALL other human beings.

To care about and to have love for ALL human beings is to be humane.

THUS, A BENEVOLENTLY SPIRITUAL PERSON IS A CARING, LOVING, AND LOVABLE, HUMANE BEING.

WHY THEISM IS DECLINING

Knowledge about the physical world has buried almost all the gods.

Nothing is different about Jesus or Christianity.

The process of science overcomes our natural tendencies to believe in myths and superstition and replaces dogma with knowledge that works.

We need to bury God to produce a better moral and ethical world.

We must openly call out lies and distortions. We should foster open questioning (and refutation by others) with no false claims of certainty.

Burying God is NOT a bad thing because science provides compensations in return with more accurate thinking--the universal invitation to question anyone's claims and the universal requirement to exercise due diligence and a duty of care to substantiate those claims.
