I just read this article on BBC: BBC News - Sweden recognises new file-sharing religion Kopimism
Basically, a religion in Sweden called Kopimism has finally gained government recognition, making the Swedish government the first government to recognize the religion. It is apparently based upon...
Found this little "humanitarian group". Anyone have any information regarding what exactly this group is? Information is scant. Is it a real group? Their goals seem incredibly cryptic, vague, and weird.
Welcome to Children of the Sun
I'm trying to learn more about the various pagan beliefs, and I've been wondering about magic. From my own understanding, magic is somewhat like prayer, except magic creates a result of some kind because it is apart of nature, whereas prayer is hit and miss because it is asking for guidance from...
Not sure if this belongs here, but I'm seeking an answer so :D

Hello! I am Boethiah. I found these boards searching for active religion discussing boards. I would identify myself as a Baha'i, however young and not officially joined with the international community yet. I hope for many good discussions in the future. :D
Also, I noticed this the Arthra on...
