A World Where Religion Doesn’t Exist

Posted By: Randy GageSeptember 29, 2019

Last week I began a series with a post about how illogical it is to believe that there is a supernatural entity who answers your prayers.  In the next post I suggested that only irrational people could believe in religion.  Yet, in the third post, I said I believed in the power of prayer, or more specifically, the power of mind and thought.  Finally, I promised that in this post, I would explain my idealistic vision of a prosperous world…

An ideal world, where spiritual people pray together, and religion doesn’t exist.

The objective of all these posts was to alert you to the possibility that the dogma of your faith might be causing you to self-sabotage your own prosperity and happiness.  (Usually because you’ve been programmed to believe you’re not worthy.)   So let’s dig into that possibility…

We live in the age of confusion, anxiety, and bewilderment. 

There is a global mental health crisis.  A full 25 percent of adults in the developed world are suffering from depression and anxiety.  Low self-esteem is an epidemic.  Hate crimes, prejudice, and divisiveness seem to be on the rise.  Here in the U.S., being a Fox News viewer or a woke liberal is now a religion, with everyone on a jihad to defeat the other side.

There are lots of reasons this current environment exists.  A news media business model that requires clickbait and contrived controversy. A social media business model dependent on creating addiction to outrage.  And government bad actors like Russia, who exploit both for their political gain.  But these are symptoms, not causes.

The foundational cause of this all – the raw fuel which feeds all of the above – is the negative programming, limiting beliefs, low self-esteem, hate, intolerance, and judgment necessary for the business model of organized religion.

Please re-read that last sentence again.  Because the organized religion business model is a cash grab, no different than the ones employed by the most unethical marketers and companies. 

But it’s far more destructive... 

A sleazy marketer might separate you from some of your earnings to sell you a worthless fat loss cure, a gadget you don’t need, or a used car with hidden damage.  A sleazy organized religion separates you from your ability to think rationally, your free will, and sense of worth.

To be fair, there are many good things done in the name of religion.  The tireless relief work the Mormon church does after every natural disaster, the Jews who opened their synagogue to Muslims after their Mosque had been destroyed (and vice versa), the kids treated at St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital, Hinduism’s emphasis on charity and giving, and the work done by Buddhist monasteries.  There are many religious people who do amazing work to make the world a better place.

Unfortunately, then there’s the other side…

Over the years, religion has served a purpose and provided hope and inspiration to millions. But it is a false hope, based on superstitions from the Stone Age.  And the inspiration provided is sterile, not creating internal worth, but out-sourcing belief to a sky god.

No force on earth can compete with organized religion for the hate, intolerance, inquisitions, and wars it has caused.  Organized religion has outlived its usefulness, and today, is the most powerful anti-prosperity force on earth. 

That’s the case I will make in the next post.  In the meantime, I’m interested to know your thoughts below.

  1. I agree 100% Randy. Its just crazy how far and deep negative programming goes. I think what bothers me the most is the fact that these are sayings and beliefs that were created thousands of years ago, and while people agree that it is ridiculous to even think about practicing medicine like those days, they defend that religion from stone age is right, sacred and the only truth on this planet. It has caused me to stay away from loved ones and it sucks.

    Thank you for stand for what you believe and push us harder, no matter what. I know there are only a few comments because there are a lot of your readers that desagree with this, same controversy like that post on prostitution, remember?. But we all need this. We need someone who tell us things like they are, who wont let us be ignorant and happy at the same time.

    Until next post 🙂

  2. I may not be your audience for this topic. Currently, I think religion can be used for good if it is used to create worthy, good, loving-kind hearts, ethical people, who care about others, the planet, and the Universe.

    As a side note, when I put my name in the Ancient Egyptian Book of the Dead(Resurrected), I changed all the pronouns to She and Her. Basically, I made myself a female god/goddess, who is equal with other gods & goddesses. That is how we were born.

    I am focusing on the New Testament, making it gender-neutral, and pulling out the parts that are positive. I am going to do this at Eucharistic Adoration.

  3. This 3 part series really resonates with me. I've never understood how intelligent, critical thinkers can follow religion word for word. I do believe in and feel connected spiritually to a Superconscious unified field of power.

    I just don't get all the man made dogma that passes for religion.

    Thanks for these courageous articles.

  4. the raw fuel paragraph helped paint the full picture of all the ways it breaks people down...which helps me find the source of unproductive undesired thoughts.

    I will keep this in mind if I catch myself being judgemental.
