Religious naturalism is an approach to spirituality that is devoid of supernaturalism. It is religious in that it advocates for a sincere subjective interpretation of, feeling for, and behavior towards life and the world. Those things considered most important are deemed sacred and respected. It is naturalistic in that it uses objective science, evidential truth, and reason in its explanations rather than supernatural explanations.

  • Religious naturalism is an approach to spirituality that is devoid of supernaturalism. It is religious in that it advocates for a sincere subjective interpretation of, feeling for, and behavior towards life and the world. Those things considered most important are deemed sacred and respected. It is naturalistic in that it uses objective science, evidential truth, and reason in its explanations rather than supernatural explanations. This allows some proponents to preserve a naturalistic god concept (i.e. the universe is God, Nature is God, ultimate reality is God, etc...). Some religious naturalists may use cultural sources to form like-minded communities. Religious naturalists often find commonality in their ethical values, spiritual inclinations, and tolerance for diversity of thought. Religious naturalism, like most religions, is concerned about the meaning of life, but it is equally interested in living daily life in a rational, happy way. An alternative, more human-centric approach, is to look at it as answering the question: "What is the meaning of one's life and does it have a purpose?". Religious naturalism attempts to amalgamate the scientific examination of reality with the subjective sensory experiences of spirituality and aesthetics. As such, it is an objectivity with religious emotional feelings and the aesthetic insights supplied by art, music and literature.,
