Religious, Liberal or Spiritual?
What is the religion of a new born?
My religion taught me to accept all religions. Probably, all religions do that... Then, why do we not have a way that communicate the same fact to all? That is probably for the reason when it comes to the religions we are generally closed and confined to our individual religions.
All the religions have good things to preach and practice. Why not only those things can be made available to all? Leave aside the religion specific things. Things like traditions and attire etc can live within the religion.
Liberal religion may not be a bad thing in itself and its good in many ways. However, it poses a great challenge that is difficult to handle if not impossible -
Liberal Religion does not provide a way to grow except that pick things from here and there as you wish. Being liberal with respect to religion can make you indifferent towards religion. Is that similar to being atheist? For being a liberal in religion most probably would be to be spiritual.
Spirituality is beyond religion and liberal religion. So, a better term than Liberal Religion would be Spiritual to remove the changes of providing self-improvement paths that the new borns used to get by default in the name of religion.
Every religion has a similarity. That is spirituality. Even an atheist can be spiritual by many ways.
Birth certificates should have Faith mentioned as a column (instead of religion) with the options provide name of religion and spirituality in addition. Spirituality should be added as a subject in schools. That can include various religions as parts of the subject.
Children, like anybody else, should also be given a choice which spiritual paths they would like to study and practice.
