religious atheism (rituals, morals, mysticism, Buddhism, beliefs)

[eudaimonia]

You may want to check out the Fellowship of Reason, which advocates a philosophical path that could also be considered a spiritual path (though thoroughly naturalistic).

Please also read my article: The Cosmos is Not Enough. Scroll down to it. I talk about my views on naturalistic spirituality.

You are also welcome to check out my Eudaimonist's Euphoria e-list, where naturalistic spirituality is often discussed.

If there are any religious/spiritual atheists/agnostics here, I would like your take on where you are on your paths.

I'm not sure that I can describe to you "where". I am on my path instead of off of it (usually!) I believe that I am growing as an individual. That is enough. Whatever milestones there might be on my path, my personal growth and fulfillment is my path's purpose. Every step of the journey is meaningful. It's not like one has to wait for many years to achieve one gigantic Enlightenment in my spiritual path.


eudaimonia,

Mark

Does putting out the nativity every Christmas make me a religious atheist, or a hypocrite?

No different than the plastic Santa on your roof and reindeer in the yard.

Ah! Yes! I like that answer.

That's true. Jesus was actually a person, and he probably was born in a manger, and I bet he had visitors. Whether or not he is the son of god is irrlevant.
