That is a good reason to have faith.

(Last six lines are awesome)
“If Heathen, Christian, Aryan, and Warrior’s path I tread,
Transcend I shall, from mortal man to heroes’ stead.
Amongst the pantheon, my name shall rise,
In legend, memory, beneath the skies.
The gods and demigods, this goal pursue,
To leave…

HOW’S THIS POETIC VERSION?
“THE OATH”
A Heathen’s creed, in Nature’s law does rest,
Sacred the Earth, by man to be possessed.
To Eden’s state, the world he shall transform,
No supreme being, his thoughts to inform.
In contemplation, with ancient heroes speak,
In myths and… https://twitter.com/levikainen1/status/1752437632158552543

Um. That’s nonsense. Every single people had oral traditions. Jews didn’t even write down their religion until asked by the Greeks to do so. Chrsitianity had no written tradition until well after Jesus was dead. The sequence of the evolution of magical content in the four…

The Oath of Transcendent Man
A PAGAN(HEATHEN), A CHRISTIAN, AN ARYAN, A WARRIOR, A MAN TRANSCENDENT
A religion of man, nature, and nature’s god need contain no lies, no false promises, no sophistry, nothing supernatural, and survives by the sheer ‘wonder’ of the universe that we are born to master, transform, and rule.
[I] am a Heathen if 1) I accept the laws of nature as binding on all of existence; and 2) if I treat nature as sacred and to be contemplated, protected and improved; and 3) I treat the world as something to transform closer to an Eden in whatever ways I can before I die; and 4) if I deny the existence of a supreme being with dominion over the physical laws, and treat all gods, demigods, heroes, saints, figures of history, and ancestors as characters with whom I may speak to in private contemplation in the hope of gaining wisdom and synchronicity from having done so. And 5) if I participate with others of my society in repetition of oaths, repetition of myths, repetition of festivals, repetition of holidays, and the perpetuation of all of the above to my offspring. And 6) if I leave open that synchronicity appears to exist now and then, and that it may be possible that there is a scientific explanation for it, other than just humans subject to similar stimuli producing similar intuitions and therefore similar ends.
As far as I know this is all that is required of me to be a Heathen.
[I] am a Christian if I have adopted the teaching of christianity: 1) the eradication of hatred from the human heart. 2) the extension of kinship love to non-kin. 3) the demand for personal acts of charity and personal cost, 4) the extension of exhaustive forgiveness before punishment, enserfment, enslavement, death, or war.
As far as I know, this is all that is required of me to be a Christian.
[I] am an Aryan if 1) I proudly display my excellences so that others seek to achieve or exceed them; 2) I seek competition to constantly test and improve myself so I do not weaken; 3) I swear to speak no insult and demand it; 4) I speak the truth and demand it; 5) I take nothing not paid for and demand it; 6) I grant sovereignty to my kin and demand it; 7) I insure my people regardless of condition, and demand it; and in doing so leave nothing but voluntary markets of cooperation between sovereign men; and to discipline, enserf, enslave, ostracize or kill those who do otherwise; 8) to not show fear or cowardice, abandon my brothers, or retreat, and 9) to die a good death in the service of my kin, my clan, my tribe and my people.
As far as I know, this is all that is required of me to be an Aryan.
[I] am a Warrior in that 1) we will prepare for war so perfectly that none dare enter it against us. 2) Once we go to war, we do so with joy, with eagerness, and with passion, and without mercy, without constraint, and without remorse; And 3) before ending war, we shall defeat an enemy completely such that no other dares a condition of our enemy, and the memory of the slaughter lives a hundred generations.
As far as I know, this is all that is required of me to be a Warrior.
[A]s far as I know, if I succeed as a Heathen, as a Christian, as an Aryan, as a Warrior, then I have transcended the animal man, and earned my place among the saints, heroes, demigods, gods, in the memories, histories, and legends of man.
And that is the objective of heroes, demigods, and gods. We leave the rest for ordinary men.

So nobody can agree on christian (or any other) religious ethics either. So it’s not an argument. We teach teh dogma and let people work it out – or not.
The natural law isn’t like that. It’s universal. But… it’s universal in the negative: what’s immoral unethical and criminal. So people can choose between preferences and work out the good and come to agreement – or not. But they cannot choose badly, only better or worse than one another. And in many cases different choices of the good may be better for each group given their challenges and opportunities than choosing the same good for both.

The usa started out as a deeply religious puritan protestant country, dominated by english (different regions), scotts-irish (from northern ireland) and from broader Germania. I try to explain to people that Americans speak english and rely on english institutions, but are germanic in their (our) efforts. Or as other historians have explained “americans are more western than the europeans” because upon founding the government, we intentionally modeled ourselves after Rome.

The benefit of Deism, is that it avoids the particularism of the competing cults (religions) and instead says that yes, there is a universal ethical and moral law, and that law is not the work of man but the work of nature and nature’s god. Religions are competing opinions. Laws of nature are monopolies. As such any religion that claims opposition to the natural law of cooperation is in fact false. There is no need for supernatural origins other than the fact that you probably do not like, trust, and in fact likely hate your neighbor – which of course, is why and how monopoly religons of abrahamism came into existence: separatism.

–“If you really think you get to keep the fruits of Western Civilization stripped of its religious ethos, you will be greatly disappointed.”–
Only if we don’t replace it’s supernatural justification with the same ethics in natural prose – which is what Aristotle said, and both Aquinas and the Scholastics (the church in general) as well as Blackstone and the Founders, as well as people like myself and our organization understood.
So just as supernatural justification of ethics need be taught by an institution, natural law ethics must be taught by an institution – because that scale and uniformity of production requires an institution.
It is slightly more costly to train people in natural law, but unlike superstition it doesn’t require faith, doesn’t require lying, and isn’t dismissable or open to ridicule like superstition faith and the lying they require.
So what occurred in it’s place was the pseudoscientific religion of the feminine-jewish-abrahamic-marxist sequence of frauds.
Meaning we could quite easily purge the feminine-to-marxist sequence of lies, and teach the ethics of truth AS a religion as did the greeks and chinese did with their traditions.
In doing so one does achieve the spiritual – just not the imaginary spiritual, but the real spiritual.
Though there lies the rub. The reason for false religion is to allow people who are dissimilar, have dissimilar interests, dissimilar wants, don’t like one another don’t respect one another to act optimistically.
In other words, the reason you need a proxy is because you in fact hate your neighbor.

Natural law. Even Aquinas figured that out.
