THE PROMETHEAN ORDER
I'm working on my new idea for a non-theistic religion, inspired by The Satanic Temple. Some key ideas:
1. The primary symbol of the new religion is Prometheus, the Titan of Fire from Greek Mythology. In the myths, he stole fire from the Gods and gave it to humanity. He was severely punished by Zeus, but he still taught humankind civilization. He represents courage, curiosity, freedom, enlightenment, scientific knowledge, and much more.
2. As 'The Satanic Temple' focuses on the issue of religious freedom, 'The Promethean Order' would focus on the popularization of knowledge to the public. We would promote knowledge of science, philosophy, and culture to the general public.
3. Rather than strict atheism, The Order might embrace a non-dogmatic approach.
4. There would be a full set of ritual practices and festivals.
5. The religion would be run in a democratic manner, possibly modeled after the Presbyterian Church.
This idea has been ruminating in my head for a long time. I plan on developing the further. I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts and any possible advice!
