And thinking makes it so

https://aaagnostica.org/2018/08/26/most-americans-believe-in-a-higher-power-but-not-always-in-the-god-of-the-bible/    got me thinking. What is "spiritual but not religious" really mean?  In conclusion it is a not owning the beliefs as the atheist is forced to do, but rather placing the ownership of our beliefs outside of us, but not in a defined god. The spiritual do not claim ownership of their own beliefs. If they do not own them, then they are not responsible. There is nothing else.

God allow a simple thinking to occur. Someone else is responsible for telling us how we should live, why to live, our morals from society, dictates our should do behavior. All these things are truly subjective, while religion makes the decisions to make these items seem objective.

Existential philosophy says that since we exist, we should make the most of it as a society. To do this we need to follow something like the golden rule, but some of us do not like to be patronized, therefore the silver rule, "do not do to others those things which we would not tolerate being done to us. We need to treat others as political equals, but not provide for them beyond survival. Since the earth is now overpopulated, survival is not necessary. Only the best should reproduce, and then only one child until we get to a reasonable population, as defined by a stable carbon dioxide level. That will take a century or more. 

Virtue Ethics, that is picking a bunch of virtues, and saying that virtue is the only good, and vice the only evil, is fine and good some of the time, but some define greed for money as a virtue, and that is not completely right. More money is good, but abusing the people to get it is not. Yet modren society thinks that being rich is a desirable. That is a limitation of Virtue ethnic and that philosophy.

The Philosophy of Caring, must also chose carefully. Family may be important, but some families have bad people within them. Should I care about those? Not so much, for society would be better off with out them.

It is not the event that bothers us, but our thinking about the event. This suggest that our thinking makes it so. So who owns the basic beliefs that we originally learned from others? Are these beliefs right and true? It is my opinion that those who claim to be spiritual but not religions have broken away from god thinking but have not yet taken ownership of their beliefs, but what do I know. And thinking makes it so.
