I have decided to start my own brother. Is going to be a non-denominational, interfaith religion.
The following is an example of the principles my church will follow.
1; the universe was created by a god, but God does not directly interact with the universe. God created nature and nature operate autonomously without interference or input from God.
2; all living things, plants and animals, have souls. When a living thing dies it's Soul returns to God to await rebirth into new life.
3; In order for a life form to reach true sentience and self awareness, it requires both a soul and a body and mind which has evolved to a certain point. God judges all such beings, including humans, based on how they lived. Those who live good lives are reborn as sentient beings, and those who are judged poorly, are reborn as lesser beings. For example Hitler was most likely reborn as a slug or other lesser being which is considered far beneath humans.
4; God speaks to us through our souls. Which is the only direct interaction between God and the universe. Conscience is God telling us right from wrong. Humans are not naturally good and so should not have a natural instinct telling us right from wrong. Therefore conscience must be an outside force.
God also inspires Us in this way. Using our souls to plant ideas into our heads. Some of the greatest philosophers and leaders of mankind built their teachings from ideas given to them by God, including Jesus of Nazareth, Ghsndi, Buddha, etc.
I also believe that democracy itself close based on a seed of inspiration planted by God. All of the greatest democracies we're built upon this divine inspiration.
5; the church will teach that nature is the father of all life, and that one of the few Universal sins one can commit is the unnecessary destruction of nature as a whole or Nature's ability to produce life.
For example, intentionally polluting is a sin, as is hunting solely for Sport with no intention of using the meat. Mankind has a duty to protect and care for nature. We may take what we need to survive but undo destruction of nature is one of the worst sins of mankind can commit.
