Religion

(2,262 posts)I had not firmly condemned that to date on this blog (I think).
But on closer consideration? I might support only a liberalism that does not rest content with "belief." Rather I might support one that looks to see if its religion works, in the material world. One that takes in much science and empirical data, to see what works and what does not.
For this and other reasons, though I did not say this earlier (I think), I would not support a liberalism of mere transcendental belief. Only a religion or a liberalism, that can prove itself by empirical or scientific evidence, is worthwhile.
This leaves room for a liberal Christianity, I guess. But only if it begins to value scientific evidence, far more than Fundamentalism does. I might call it "Natural Christianity," say. Or some other name. "Science-Based Theology," etc..
