Other Belief Systems/Religions

Post by Greenflame27 »

This website is pretty much for Atheist's and Agnostic's to debate with Christians Muslims and Jews((Also to debate diets)), but I wonder if I'm the only other or not on here, like are there any Pagans? Buddhist's? Shintos? Spiritualist's? Whatever else? I myself do not believe in a god, but i do not identify as a Atheist because I believe in the Astral Plains, Meditation, Crystal Healing, the Body Chakras, Astral Projection, ect.

If you don't worship any gods, you're an atheist. Just not necessarily a scientific naturalist atheist.

True Buddhists are also atheists. Any Buddhist who worships a deity is heretical, and not following the teachings of Gautama, which claim that the devas and other 'supernatural' beings are also trapped in Saṃsāra and not sources of enlightenment. They are not worthy of worship.
