How can there be any religion without God?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Real religion is not about belief in an external God, but the blossoming of your own consciousness through doubt, inquiry, and the discovery of your own truth."
According to Osho, religion needs no God because real religion is not belief in an external creator but the flowering of your own consciousness. The God-idea breeds ready-made doctrines and obedience to an ultimate dictator; it blocks seeking. Authentic religion begins in doubt, shock, and inquiry, and culminates in personally discovered truth. Borrowed scriptures become lies; only your own seeing is sacred.
Religion without God means waking up inside yourself and finding truth by your own seeing, not by believing someone else’s story.
