faitheism

The philosophy that even though god is a construct of humankind, our spiritual convictions are nonetheless useful in navigating the 90% of reality that eludes science and the senses.
Those who live in faitheism may refer to God as the One who does not exist.

Faitheism

Faitheism is a philosophy that emphasizes the importance of faith, purpose, and love in navigating life's uncertainties and finding meaning and fulfilment in personal experiences and relationships. The philosophy posits that God and the universe are one and the same, and that by embracing the inherent complexity of existence and finding beauty and meaning in the diversity of experiences and relationships, we can navigate life's challenges with resilience and purpose.

Faitheism draws upon many philosophical and religious schools of thought. The Stoics emphasized the importance of resilience and inner strength in the face of adversity, and the Existentialists explored the search for meaning and purpose in a seemingly meaningless world. The Judeo-Christian tradition emphasized the importance of faith, purpose, and love in finding meaning and fulfilment in life, and the Eastern religions emphasized the interconnectedness of all things.

Faitheism is not meant to exclude or supersede these traditions, but rather to draw upon them and provide a more contemporary, holistic perspective on the search for meaning and purpose in life. Faitheism recognizes the inherent complexity and uncertainty of existence and emphasizes the importance of faith, purpose, and love in navigating life's challenges with resilience and purpose.
Faitheism is a modern philosophy reflecting a nuanced and considered view of reality.

faithism

An idea that your faith or religious belief is superiour to other religious beliefs or faiths and that it must be spread either pacifically by migration and high birth rates or violently by holy wars. It also means that faithists, people who consider their religion most truthful, will use manipulative techniques to either lie about their intentions or openly suppress minority religions leading to enslavement or genocides in some cases.

Systemic Faithism

Systemic Fathism refers to the ways that cultural, systems, structures, and institutions directly and consciously promote Faith to sustain or entrench differential (dis)advantage for an individual or group.
Scripture states that a person can only serve one Master, there is no such thing as “God & Country”, thus the promotion of God & Country is Systemic faithism.”
