BELIEFS WITHOUT RELIGION
A creed without a congregation
Training Handout
A religion is a social institution while a belief is something we think
It is valuable to look at the myths of the
day to have a deeper understanding of the beliefs and cosmology of the
people.
In today’s society, growing now for over
seventy years, most of our myths have been manufactured in
Hollywood.
It is interesting, therefore, to look at
recent surveys, including census data, of peoples’ religious
beliefs.
A growing number of respondents report that
they believe in The Force, as in the Star Wars movie series.
This is a large following without a formalized
congregation, and without the usual bureaucracy (or formal organization)
of a religion.
It is our challenge today to explain the
rise of those spiritual but non religious beliefs.
