But the point is is that it is not a religion. It is closer to psychology.
You might as well say that a head doctor is a priest. Just read that
DIANETICS book. I got a third of a way through and threw it in the trash.

Christianity is a "mystery" religion. The mystery being the death and
resurrection of Christ.

"Behold, I tell you a mystery. We will not all sleep, but we will all
be changed."

1 Corinthians 15:51

Islam is also a mystery religion in that Mohamed ascended into heaven,
the good followers can obtain Paradise, etc.


Religions like stoicism, or lots of others are really just ways to
live your life. I would guess Scientology is something like that. I am
not going to spare enough mouse clicks to even look it up.

Stoicism makes sense to me, as does pre-Christianity (Zoroastrianism).
What I would really like to do is read an accurate Bible translation
from before the Europeans got to meddling with it. BAR periodically
prints short excerpts and the differences between 2nd century texts and
the KJV versions are fascinating and tell more about modern inhibitions
than anything else.

I'd say you're significantly more persistent than most.

Absolutely anything can become a religion depending on the person, or
group.
