What's unique to your religion?

All religions have things in common and things in particular, even unique sometimes.
A while ago I had the change to visit the Jehovah's Witnesses head quarters in New York and I was very impressed at how modern and organized everything was. What an incredible work, considering it's all volunteer work and the funding is done via donations that each member provides according to their means and personal situation (donations are anonymous and private so no one knows what others give). The coordination with the branches in different countries alone left me speechless.
Is there anything about your religion that you find unique, or particularly amazing?

The ancient all stone edifices of South India, hundreds of them, largely unnoticed to the outside world, absolute architectural masterpieces, built according to the designs laid in ancient scripture, totally carved by hammer and chisel, some stones moved hundreds of miles, and not replicable today.

I'm still not sure I have a religion as such, but it would need to be laid back, diverse, and inclusive... Like Hinduism for example.

No community. No communal worship. No dress codes, rituals, set prayers, groups or organisations. Hardly any Noahides at all.

So what drew you to your religion then? Community is one of the cornerstones of religion. It must be hard no to have it.

Crumbs. This implies I should know stuff about other religions!
Errrrr...perhaps....
Dependent origination.
The absence of intrinsic existence (sunyata).
Being-time.
Practice-enlightenment.
(There's lots of variations between Buddhist traditions and interpretations)

I'd assume you are not really looking for these things. If you were, you'd change your religion. You are seeking something else.

I am pretty desperate for these things and have been suicidal for a while. I just believe my religion is true and cannot change that. I won't exchange truth for a happy lie.
