I think philosophical religions may get pretty close. Taoism, Buddhism, the non-theistic ones that basically say "you can't wrap your head around what's going on."

Scientology has it nailed down pretty much 100%

All religions are correct... in that they believe other religions are wrong.

agree with the "push" part, but if you truly believe in your religion you have to engage in dialogue about it with others. The problem comes when people disrespect each other and don't accept the fact that others have alternative views.
Most denominations within Christianity have people who disagree with each other on the nitnoid ####.

I'm a fact & science guy. However, I don't have a problem with people opening up a shop to spew whatever fact or fiction they please. I do have a problem with subsidizing them with tax dollars.
Ftr, I grew up Protestant & attended a Catholic school. I think there are a lot of positive involved with organized religion, but years of research into religions, history, and archaeology have made me realize it's all mostly a bunch of bs. Not trying to knock them all, just what they are based on. My bigger gripe is how they have been used as a vehicle for evil. Whether for wars, to control people, for money scams, or pedophilia.

I read a Shakespeare sonnet, a canto from The Divine Comedy & one of the 81 chapters of the Tao before every workday - it gives me my flow. Everything your spirit needs to remain vital & humble is in the Tao Te Ching.
That said, except for the Savior thing (which i excuse as a contemporary necessity), Jesus Christ had it stone right. I'm a little embarrassed for the world that i take my 95% of my lessons in humanity from two 1st-Century prophets (Roman slave turned teacher Epictetus the other), but there you go. I read the Red Words all the time.

This seems to be more of a vacuum of religion thread. Any religion that tries to appear will suffocate quickly.

Is there a Christian denomination that specifically rejects all of the Old Testament?

If there's one with (good) tequila, I'll at least hear them out.

Not sure if I believe in God. Grew up old school Catholic, and as I got older started to question everything of course.
I would like to believe that there is a supreme being looking over all of us, but I can't believe that guy would allow his name to be used for so much hate, and anger, and pain.
The God I grew up with loved everyone, and if that is all I got from religion - then that's cool.
But "religion" has spawned so much hate and pain that I am pretty convinced this God guy doesn't exist at all. And I'm not sure how I feel about that.
Until I figure it out, my plan is to love everyone and try to live a good life and let the chips fall where they may.

Because if god is full of wrath and vengeance towards the reasonable, but gracious and forgiving of the gullible, then the gullible are scared of what's going to happen to the reasonable.

That's perfectly reasonable... but again, we're talking about gullible people here. They're not very reasonable to start with.
In the sense that the creator of it proposed that people are a bunch of suckers that can be separated from their caish... Indeed.

All I know is that if there wasn't a god, your wife would never have let you come back.
