i didn't grow up religious at all, and also i'm not religious now, but obviously my opinions on religion have gone through a bunch of change as i've grown up (unsurprising). i had a real Reddit Atheist phase when i was in high school and early college, then i mellowed out a bit and if you're wondering what my current opinion on religion is it could basically come down to: if you're leftist about it and you aren't weird to other people, i have no issue with it.

(sidebar: some of the first Fervent Communists i met were also ardent quakers!! that really was the first step for me in realizing how people could work their religion into their politics in a way that didn't make me feel disgusting)

now, that's all a very simple preamble to another weird thing i've noticed with myself, which is that recently due to my Byzantine History Phase (currently ongoing) i am definitely in a complementary Early Christian History Phase, and that means i'm engaging a lot more directly with critical theology stuff (see: dan mclellan, bart ehrman, et cetera) and it's so interesting to me that like... i feel like i understand why people are religious (slash how they became christian in the early years after jesus' death) a lot more now, but it's also made me even more atheist, if that makes sense?

like, i feel like i'm both more understanding of religious viewpoints and more sure that i do not feel that way, but like. I'm not looking down on it. I get the relief that is offered there, the idea of giving oneself up to a higher power etc etc, but I'm still too skeptical to feel it for myself, even if I'm genuinely fascinated by the history of grecoroman/post-grecoroman religion. it's really fascinating! it's full of insanely contradictory messaging and i don't really put much stock in any take on christianity that treats it as a single religion (as opposed to a massive breadth of different religions that happen to share the same general relationship with the supernatural), but I mean, I think it's really interesting how all that happened. Warts & all, I guess. It's as much a part of societal history as anything else.

Extremely relatable religion feels, although mostly I'm here to say that "A massive breadth of different religions that share the same general relationship with the supernatural" is a really good way of putting it.

Yeah I think a big Lightbulb Moment for me was hearing that phrase (Christianity as a "framework for engaging with the supernatural"), or something close to it, in a podcast or something?

Like, suddenly it all clicked a lot better -- you can see how this vastly different take on the supernatural could have appealed to the otherwise pagan Greco-Roman population. It promised you things, it called for a certain type of radical change, and it put a lot of focus on the acts that one does in life in a different way than other belief systems at the time.

(Of course, all of that was warped in innumerable ways as the religion evolved, but that seed still feels mostly preserved)

I was raised irreligious and similarly was a of an annoying atheist for a while, but in the past few years I've actually considered finding a good church to attend because I see what it does for other people and I value that. The problem is that I don't actually have the faith, which is a pretty big issue, and I don't feel like faking the funk.

Hi I'm religious, Episcopal Christian revert with a bunch of other shit most people would call heretical that I won't get into. First of all YES I love your framework of Christianity, to me Christianity is any religion that has Jebus as its principal prophet; otherwise people looked to Jesus for many disparate reasons carried from existing movements (the most obvious example being the Mandaeans) that they then carried on within the Christian milieu, so it's hard to even say that there's a common point of origin.

Now for the opinion nobody asked for. It's easy to explain how I got away from the paternalistic and uncomfortable faith I grew up with and harder to explain how I found another way. My mental image of Jesus as an iconoclast is as close to Satanism's idea of Satan as it is to some evangelical Southern Baptist's idea of Jesus. I think I realized that, although I have learned to be fearless without the divine, and in fact have had to stand up against my ideas of it, I do want to be loved and understood and seen in that profound way. I think spirituality speaks to my religious trauma, so my experience is particular to some extent, but I don't see religion as something more irrational than any worldview. Nothing about my spirituality requires me to perceive more than my senses, logic, and emotion give me. It's not so much blind faith as it is interpreting my knowledge and experiences building on symbolic devices and definitions that recur through human thought. As far as we're concerned, the divine is a symbol or a descriptor for sensation. It doesn't NEED to physically exist, I don't NEED there to be something somewhere I could hypothetically look at that quacks like a god. In terms of being able to interpret abject reality through a more mystical lens, it probably helps that I looked into a lot of high level philosophy like Lacan and did LSD before becoming spiritual again.
