I'm not sure if this is the right community to post in (maybe y'all can comment more appropriate ones if that's the case) but basically, I'm not sure what I believe in spiritually. While I believe in an afterlife and that my loved ones who are no longer here are there I'm uncertain If I believe in god, reincarnation, chakras, etc. I'm uncertain which religion to try to validate this belief that my loved ones are in a better place, but I know that I want life/spiritual guidance, community, and inclusion (both as a Queer person and a general outsider.) I just need some help figuring this part of myself out, is there anyone I can talk to about this? What should I do?

Aye organized religion is difficult. One church will be very tolerant and actually follow the teaching that their Holy book say: Love thy neighbours.

Others are just racist and discriminatory c*nts.

I'd really wish a new religion would be founded. Without all the outdated cultural, zeitgeist, views. Neo-Christiniaty/Islam, whatever one would call it. The core message is often right. Work and live together for a better world.

New religions are founded every day. The issue is that they are either united by notions, which are squishy, or by a cult leader claiming divine inspiration. The squishy ones don't last long, or else get taken over by a cult leader.
