Speaking for myself, if I was pushed to define my belief, I’d have to say that I think of the universe as my higher being. The universe is inclusive of nature and all that abounds therein. I consider myself spiritual. I lean toward believing in reincarnation until we learn what we (as individuals) need to learn – to be loving, to accept love, to be kind, to aspire to be a better human, to be humble, etc. We need to correct the flaws we currently have. Not minor ones like being messy, but major ones, like accepting and believing that one is loveable, or being nonjudgmental.
I’m definitely not religious. Imo, religion is an organized system created by humans…and specifically because it was done so long ago, by men.
I assume that someone who claims to be neither…is neither.
