My personal angle
TBD: I was drawn to learn about religions, because I was raised in a secular family, and the rituals of various religions were intriguing. However, I was not drawn to join any of the existing religions because I couldn’t - I did not believe in some of their central beliefs. Including the religious tradition of my grandparents. Occasionally I would try to think about how I would design a new religion that is compatible with my worldview and beilefs. So next I present my thoughts on this matter.
