Calculate on a scale of 1 to 10 how (un-)religious you are…

You read the statement… The statement gets longer…

The tail of the statement changes…

From what moment onwards do you no longer agree with the statement?

Grade 1: Atheism “I am.”

Grade 2: Spiritual atheism “I am … “… part of a greater, unknowable Whole”

Grade 3: Agnosticism “I am … … part of a greater, unknowable Whole… … and it is impossible for me to know whether this Whole is natural or supernatural.”

Grade 4: Somethingism “I am … … part of a greater, unknowable Whole… … that is also supernatural.… … but that I do not name.” (There must be something)

Grade 5: Deism, the unknowable God I am … … part of a greater, unknowable Whole… … that is also supernatural.… … and that I call God, … … a power I know nothing about.”

Grade 6: Theism, the personalised God “I am … … part of a greater, unknowable Whole… … that is also supernatural.… … and that I call God, … … a power of which I know certain characteristics… … for example that it can feel love, hope, and disappointment.”

Grade 7: The God with a plan “I am … … part of a greater, unknowable Whole… … that is also supernatural.… … and that I call God … … a power of which I know certain characteristics… … for example that it can feel love, hope, and disappointment… … and also that it has a plan.”

Grade 8: The God with a plan for everything “I am … … part of a greater, unknowable Whole… … that is also supernatural.… … and that I call God … … a power of whom I know certain characteristics… … for example that it can feel love, hope, and disappointment… … and also that it has a plan… … a plan which concerns all humanity, including the disbelievers.”

Grade 9: The God with rules and laws “I am … … part of a greater, unknowable Whole… … that is also supernatural.… … and that I call God … … a power of whom I know certain characteristics… … for example that it can feel love, hope, and disappointment… … and of which I know that it has a plan… … a plan which concerns all humanity, including the disbelievers… … and that it prescribes rules and laws in order to realize its plan.”

Grade 10: Man as divine instrument “I am … … part of a greater, unknowable Whole… … that is partly supernatural.… … and that I call God … … a power of whom I know certain characteristics… … for example that it can feel love, hope, and disappointment. … and of which I know that it has a plan… … a plan which concerns all humanity, including the disbelievers… … and that it prescribes rules and laws in order to realize its plan… ... asking me to obey them, to explain them, to reveal them, to implement them, to enforce them on others.” ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

10 degrees of (un-)religiosity Atheism > Spiritualiy = spiritual atheism > Supra-material = agnosticism > Naming = “Somethingism” > Undesigned ‘God’ = deism > Characterization (human traits) = theism > Revelation of the project = theism > Inclusion (concerns everthing and everybody) = theism > Rules and laws (sharia’s, theorema’s, dogma’s, mantra’s, postulates) = theism > Man as a divine instrument = theism © A.
