Modern Religion
Modern spirituality with religion upside down or inside out.
Introduction
Most people in the world still believe in an existing God who is almighty.
Some people believe that the concept of God is a figment of human imagination; This fabrication serves to reduce uncertainty about his/her existence, as well as to lessen uncertainty about the future.
Within this group, there are individuals who, when they hear the statement “We create God”, believe the following:
God is an imaginary construct invented (unconsciously or unintentionally) by humanity thousands of years ago. The concept of God or gods was meant to explain the unresolved mysteries in this life (and after death).
Everything that was beyond our understanding was given a place in every form of religion.
The church leaders were then the mouthpiece of God, and they knew what was good for us. By following their instructions, things would turn out well for you and your family. The priests, shamans, and gurus received their messages from God (or an overarching magical being), so ‘Follow their instructions,’ was the general consensus.
WCG Doctrine
The above explanation is not what I mean by the statement “We create God”.
I mean that, from now on, we can actually strive to create a higher power than ourselves. This higher power (which you could imagine as God) helps humanity and nature to successfully survive into the future, thousands of years from now.
By creating this higher power, we can strive for the perfect form of society (and thereby ‘heaven’ on earth). And perhaps, over millions of years, this higher power can help us steer the universe in the right direction. With this, you have taken the freedom to create your own God, together with the dear people around you.
How about you?
If you feel wronged by your environment, then you can, together with us, strive for justice, truth, loving-kindness, unification and perfection.
The WeCreateGod Movement (WCG) makes religion a civic choice: This belief system with its rules, is determined by people from the bottom up. They determine what God will look like.The general question is therefore: what spiritual future do we all want in the vast cosmic universe?
Many people do not dare to strive for deification, because they are afraid of what might arise on a global level. Or they are uncertain about their own ideas regarding God. But just as humanity deceives itself by denying the disastrous effects of worldwide human overpopulation, so too, do many people deny that they have the gift to create God together.
Dare to dream of a positive purpose for life in all its facets. Strive for truth, justice, love, and connectedness, as well as perfection of life.
Summary
The WCG doctrine contrasts traditional belief in an almighty God with the view that God is a human-created concept used to explain uncertainty and life's mysteries.
It rejects the idea that "we create God" merely means inventing an imaginary deity to fill gaps in human understanding.
Instead, it proposes that humanity can consciously create a higher power through collective effort, wisdom, and shared values.
This higher power would help guide society towards justice, truth, love, unity, and the long-term flourishing of life and nature.
The WeCreateGod Movement presents religion as a civic, bottom-up process in which people collaboratively shape a vision for the future and strive for a better world.
