@sonship saidYou can talk about it if you want. I wonder why you want to rinse all useful meaning out of the words "religion" and "religious".
@FMF
You mean you don't want to talk about YOUR spirituality of making religion out of your faith in naturalism and technological advancement and Darwinism - and all the things which make God unnecessary in your Spirituality.
Judaism, Islam, Ice Hockey, Christianity. etc.
Personally, I don't even think Buddhism is a religion.

@fmf saidApocaholic?
Are people who are pessimistic and misanthropic about the human condition and the state of the world often drawn to religious beliefs that feed their pessimism and misanthropy, or does religion too often turn some people into pessimists and misanthropes?
Did you invent a new word?
Sounds like you had a few apocaholic drinks before creating this thread.

@mchill saidAs a non believer, that is not how I see the world at all. I have great optimism for the future of the human race as we progress further into science and space exploration, a future that will evolve away from religion and paper money.

The short answer is - No. As a Christian I'm quite optimistic about the human condition, and as to the state of the world, I'm confident it is unfolding in keeping with God's plan.
Non-believe ...[text shortened]... esus, and the beginning of Gods kingdom on earth.
