Religion is cool and good if it is used as a path or tool towards personal growth or introspection. Religion is bad and harmful when it is used as a path of outward projection.
I know people of pretty much all religions who don't use those religions to excuse harmful views and instead use those religions as an excuse to push themselves to be better humans and I see nothing wrong with that.
I know this community is borderline anti religious so blast me in the comments
what does any of that have to do with gnosticism? there's very little organized these days, even less in the anglosphere, and the newage crystal hippie woo stuff isn't much older than scientology.
