Or coming at a similar idea from a slightly different angle: when you imagine life without religion/faith, what does it look like, and how do you feel?

Just kind of seeking, I guess, and this question feels essential to even know what it is I’m seeking.

This helps me live my life as a surfer, to harness the energy and to flow in the right direction without fighting the tide.
