I don’t subscribe to the notion that all religions are the same. There are important differences that matter. But in the most popular religions, levels of belief are often implied. Sometimes it's the followers of a religion that make these distinctions clear, thinkers like Soren Kierkegaard, and sometimes it's in the great texts. Regardless, we can see an implied structure of belief. A path from immaturity to mature religiosity. It may not be a straight arrow, but there are clearly higher and lower levels to consider that may be useful to you for whatever path you take. 00:00 Every Level of Belief 04:16 The Pursuer of Pleasure 10:33 Inherited Faith 13:17 Belief Out of Fear of Authority 15:59 Self Interest 19:43 Taking Responsibility 21:28 Religious Maturity 24:53 Letting Go Aperture explores the ideas shaping how we think — philosophy, psychology, and the hidden forces behind human behavior.
