I see strong logical dissonance here. When your religion is based on "facts, truths, and axioms" then why do you call it a religion then? It is called science.

Before science, religion was all we had.

All religions probably started with good faith and best intentions at heart, but nature can play a nasty trick if one's not careful enough - power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely - and so these religions became sources of lies and deception in the name of millions of devoted followers who seek guidance in life.

You see the logical dissonance because you've been accustomed to thinking of religion as this bad entity that uses people to gain more and more power. I too was `anti-religion` for a while. But:

Religions' role is far greater in society than simply telling stories of deities - religion provides community, teaches values, evaluates morals, provide guidance to the lost and weary, rituals to partake in.

For too long these important aspects of our lives were at the mercy of hearsay, exploited by power mongers, and corrupted by eons of misinformation.

This has something to do with Zero day?

Not intentionally.

Zero One's name is based on the simple idea of binary we're so accustomed to. Also it's name of the city that the AI's have built in the Matrix universe (see "The Second Renaissance" parts 1 + 2 in Animatrix).

You said:

"We worship the universe. We thank it for existing and as a result letting us exist within it."

Would you say it with the intent that this is one form of New Paganism ... Huh

...

No.

Neat! Bitcoin cult.

You didn't really say what you group was about besides using technology. If that's your qualification, I think everyone in the world is already a member. You want donations to create a new bible telling the truth. In other words, you are going to hire some people to snip some info out of National Geographic's articles about the earth, and a couple of kid friendly science magazines to tell people that the earth is round and more than 6,000 years old, the moon isn't a hole in the sky, and that humans likely evolved from apes.

Shouldn't you just call yourself a science club then? How are you any different than any already established science society? There are already quite a few to choose from.

Bitcoin is indeed a cult - those who know me can verify I've been saying that at least as early as 2012.

Donations are not the purpose of this message, it's your way to show support, if it's such a bother I'll gladly remove the address and return the already received donation.

And yes. The idea is to create a religion that does not exploit people's fears to gain more power, to have sex with minors, legally abuse the insane or "non-believers". Islam, Christianity, Judaism - the largest three are all at fault (and many many small ones like Scientology), they all have allowed corruption and power mongers to take control, and their followers who seek guidance and enlightenment are at the mercy of these monsters.

I don't know about you, but I am sick of seeing millions and billions of people being subdued to slavery with the help of religion.

As we've taken the banking system into our hands, we are taking religion into our hands, and out of the shades, lies, misdirection.
