science based religions.

atoms under a microscope.

science consensus is the most reliable thing we have right now.

science based religions web site is dedicated to my teacher swami vivekananda who classified religions sort of as: 1> devotion, 2> knowledge, 3> meditation, 4> desires. Many religions are syncretistic.
this web site is the work of 1 person.

1> science based religions devotion can be directed to science. plenty of scientists have died for science.

2> science based religions knowledge is from science consensus such as:
* person is a reprogrammable computer born with default programs for overconsumption and overpopulation, so people are cancers.
programs have causes. reprogramming by the environment have causes.
future is uncertain so most species evolved to consume the maximum now and to have the maximum children now. human species has no genetic controls on consumption and expansion, so human species is cancer.
* person is a symbiosis of trillions of eukaryotes and trillions of bacteria and archaea. the desires of these eukaryotes, bacteria and archaea have causes.
* life and non life are both molecules and atoms.
* life and non life are both quantum fields.
market for science based religions is only about 20% because it cannot offer the popular fantasies eternal life and worship of eternal aliens since eternal system is not possible based on the laws of thermodynamics. Science is based on evidence but there is 0 evidence for eternal life and eternal aliens. Fantasy based religions have about 80% of the market.
science based religions give peace from knowledge which is similar to peace from before birth, peace from sleep, peace from after death.

3> science based religions can include science based meditation is promoted by some atheists.

4> science based religions desires can be classified based on how cancerous people are:

4.1> being most cancerous,

* maybe there is a person who desires to consume all of the resources in all of the universes.

* cosmism or star trek religions of human species expanding to all the universes was maybe promoted by scientist stephen hawking.

4.2> being more cancerous,

* many groups try to live longer.
many survivalist groups, prepper groups.

* many people prefer to live longer lives.
can have unrefined vegan diet with vitamin b12 supplement, exercise, enough sleep, no smoking, no wine.

* many people prefer to consume more, hedonism.

* many people prefer to have more kids, natalism.

* transhumanism to have longer lives.
convert people using genetic modifications and or computer tech to live longer.

* logan's run religions. scientist james lovelock recommended building domed cities, to make human species last longer.

* sealab religions. in sci fi, can see underwater cities and people are happily singing under the sea with sebastian crab.

4.3> being close to default cancerous,

* plenty of people not exerting any efforts to live longer.

* before fossil fuels, default energy consumption was about 2,000 calories per person per day. after fossil fuels, default daily energy consumption of each person is around 100x more.

* usual number of kids is around 1 to 2 kids per family.

* science based taoism, science based aristotle, science based epicurean, science based existentialist, pragmatism.
follow whatever existing desires. go with the flow, watch own movie, be on autopilot.

* science based judaism, secular judaism, atheistic judaism, science based islam, science based christianity.
retain traditional cultural ethics.
examples are atheistic jewish groups.

* secular humanism, ethical union, atheism, science based skeptics, science based sunday assembly.
if living alone at the top of a mountain, ethics is not needed.
we are a social species so some ethics is needed by each group.
ethics evolve differently in various groups.
ethics can be based on community standards same as in hunter gatherer groups, chimpanzee groups, bonobo groups, gorilla groups, orangutan groups.

4.4> being less cancerous,

* some people prefer to live shorter lives.

* some people are minimalists and try to consume less.

* some people have 0 kids since other people are already having lots of kids.

* veganism.
eukaryote animals consume and burn other life to produce energy.
can minimize pain on other life by eating plants and take vitamin b12 supplement.

* science based jainism, science based buddhism, science based hinduism.
stronger desires can be used to reprogram weaker desires so desire for peace of mind can be used to reprogram weaker desires.
examples are atheistic buddhist groups and secular buddhist groups.

* science based stoic, science based confucianism, science based plato, science based communism, to make human species last longer by consuming less.
can use the human body as a model for a better social species that can last longer: world government, government genetic engineering, government assigned jobs, mass surveillance, control and limits on consumption and reproduction, lifespan limits, mutant cancers who want freedom to do whatever are killed.
hard to implement so usually only seen in sci fi novels, sci fi films and sci fi tv series.
china used to have rationing of meat, oil, etc. and a 1 child policy.

* science based reset to pre science, to make human species last longer by consuming less.
science amplifies overconsumption and overpopulation so there is a daily race with tech solutions and inevitably, one day luck will run out so overconsumption and overpopulation will overwhelm tech solutions and lead to human extinction, so human species can last longer with periodic reset to pre science.
when the roman empire collapsed, about 1/3 of population died, much science knowledge was lost during the dark ages.
an example was when china dictator mao shut down universities for about 10 years which stopped science in china for about 10 years.
deep green resistance wants to destroy world civilization so the human species can last longer by consuming less as small hunter gatherer groups.

4.5> being least cancerous.

* voluntary human extinction movements and involuntary human extinction movements promote human extinction via everyone not having kids.

* some religions have promoted deaths.

* hard for the environment to reprogram will to live but it does happen sometimes.
