Yeah. Many of my peers have become christian recently.. most of them were raised that way when they were young and rebelled against at. And then went back.
I never had any kind of faith, and now I feel some kind of connection to my own version of "GOD"
I don not have anything against being religious, my experience in my childhood was great. It just lost sense by itself until it vanished, and time did nothing but to consolidate that path. The idea of a god disturbs me, makes everything lose sense. I took engineering as my religion and never looked back.

I love engineering. I was an electrician for many years. Now I tinker.

Then you understand me

I think it is possible to be logically minded and still spiritual. It all works together when we zoom out enough.

I would never go against the belief structure of someone that has found peace in it. That actually stems from my engineering religion: if it works, don't fix it.
That said, in my specific belief structure, the idea of "spirituality" haves no sense, at all. It just blurs my understanding, so I got rid of it, and I even feel better that way. But that's me.

I don't think there is one right way. I just like relating to all types of people and expanding my perspective.

It can be pretty irrelevant for miles, even entire lives. You can be convinced that a man dressed as godzilla is the all powerful god that governs what tone of green the grass will be. And you can go about your entire life with it without wrongly affecting anyone's life.
Now, if you are convinced that the earth is flat and demand planes to stop flying like if the earth is round, there we have a problem.

As you said: "So, again, it's how we connect."

How do we know if the earth is flat or round? A lot of pilots say it's flat. I have no way of knowing.
