Religion is a cultural system of behaviours and practices, world views, sacred texts, holy places, ethics, and societal organisation that relates to a humanity.
Religions may contain symbolic stories, explaining the origin of life, the Universe, and other things. Traditionally, faith, in addition to reason, has been considered a source of religious beliefs.
- Theres an estimated 10,000 distinct religions worldwide.
- About 84% of the world's population is affiliated with one of the five largest religions, namely Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism or forms of folk religion.
- Automatic enrolment make the statistics unreliable.
Scientific revolution
With the onset of the modernity and ongoing scientific revolution brought about by the irreligious, some aspects of religion have cumulatively been criticized. The religiously unaffiliated include atheists (who reject belief in the existence of deities) and agnostics (who believe that the truth of certain claims – especially metaphysical and religious claims such as whether God, the divine or the supernatural exist – are unknown and perhaps unknowable with currently available scientific equipment).
While the religiously unaffiliated has steadily grown globally, many of the unaffiliated still understandably have various underlying religious beliefs which haven't as yet been knocked on the head and remain for now a part of the baggage reclaim we bring with us to the present day from the middle ages.
- About 16% of the world's population is religiously unaffiliated, irreligious.
What are five important aspects regarding Earth religions?
- Religion is only a primitive machination by Man to command, suppress and exploit others, to which only life forms that are weak in their consciousness succumb.
- When Man indulges in his religions, i.e. malevolent, erroneous doctrines, his consciousness wastes away more and more and ultimately leads to a bottomless abyss.[1]
- Earth is the only planet within the Milky Way galaxy that has religions of our form. Our religions control people’s lives and the welfare of the whole planet retarding our world by thousands of years in spiritual development. [2]
- Every aspect of spiritual evolution is blocked by these religions, making any genuine progress impossible.[3]
- Our religions still contain some real worth, but this becomes so overshadowed that only a few people are able to see any effective truth in them.[4]
FIGU Forum Questions Answered by Billy
Why have we not yet destroyed ourselves like other star systems have done so because of religion?
From the FIGU Forum (Questions Answered by Billy):
Semjase said that the damage from the Christian religion had spread to other systems and galaxies and even caused their destruction. How is this possible when, as crazy as things are here, we haven't yet destroyed our own world over this, at least not to the extent she describes?
ANSWER: Hi Michael,
The other ones had more sophisticated weapons and technology to destroy themselves. We are still bound to our planet (luckily, in this respect). We are still in our baby shoes compared to them (in technical aspects).[5]

What is Religion and What is Relegeon?
God-delusion and God-delusion Insanity
God-delusion and God-delusion Insanity
Why is religion a part of the Billy Meier reading experience even for atheists?
One paragraph short succinct. - one line about it being about all of Earth humanity, one line about equality, one line about being able to avoid that information entirely if you want.
Further reading general definition, origin and various extraneous wide format information.
mass noun: The belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods.[6]
- count noun: A particular system of faith and worship.[7]
- count noun: A pursuit or interest followed with great devotion.[8] ~ this is closer to Relegeon see above
- count noun: A pursuit or interest followed with great devotion.[8] ~ this is closer to Relegeon see above
Origin: Variable: Middle English (originally in the sense ‘life under monastic vows’): from Old French, or from Latin religio(n-) obligation, bond, reverence, perhaps based on Latin religare to bind.[9]
Estimated number: Variable: The precise number of religions in the world is not known, but available estimates show the number to be about 4,300
Finance and economy: Variable: School tuition tax credits, capital grants, accredited private schools, public funding, after-school clubs in public facilities, military missionaries on government salaries, national emergency funds qualification, property taxes, International aid etc.
Grooming and indoctrination: Variable: Public school textbooks and discussions, supreme court rulings, head of state inclinations and competitive economic disadvantages, primary and secondary school teachers vernacular, teachers tone, expressions, religious music during school assemblies, religious naivety plays, religious dress and grooming practices include wearing religious clothing etc.
Continued but more serious methods: State funding, bullying tactics, manipulation, government level endorsements and concessions, historical capital punishment, assassination, murder, public hanging with priests present for monetary endorsement concessions and positive reinforcement, torture, preaching, self-aggrandising, heavy duty value forcefully positioned onto religion from governmental level spending, capital grants, head of state speeches, liberty and justice rolled into the religious patty and served as equal in value, partial democracy and historical dictatorship style openly concealed regimes.
Continued but cradle to grave methods: Religious ceremony to introduce a baby to life, several religious ceremonies per year, then a special ceremony to represent the act of union between two individuals then another special ceremony upon death, a special service at school to introduce the available knowledge then a special recap session whenever you do something wrong in life, all at that grave price and cost to your evolution which in itself is a religious sacrifice. When you vote as an adult and in a democracy you're typically given the option of two maybe three religiously indoctrinated individuals to choose from.
Common misconceptions
List of common misconceptions about the FIGU information by subject
Explanation about the broad subject of why
- You make your own luck.[10]
- Everyone is the architect of his or her own fortune.[11]
- Everywhere, everything is well ordered. Law and regulation and principles prevail.[12]
- The human being entirely bears full responsibility for him or herself and anything and everything.[13]
- Belief, imaginations and delusions have a monstrous might over the human being. If the human being really believes that he is to be ruined by any certainly given situation, then that will actually then probably happen due to the various misunderstood and abused capacities of the Human Brain.[14]
- Religious and sectarian belief, as delusion, epitomises a quite especially mighty (very dangerous to Health) nocebo preparation.[15]
- The human determines his or her own destiny through his or her thoughts, feelings and deeds.[16]
- The human being, and everything else in the Creation, Universal Consciousness or Universe, is bound by its natural laws and recommendations, in the naturally occurring physics vibrations of its Cause-Effect Evolution.[17]
- All religious documentation have consciously had falsifications carried-out upon them or there has been historical plagiarisms which have arisen through a lack of understanding.[18]
- Sodom and Gomorrah were two small towns(21st century comparative size) ordered to be destroyed by two small atomic weapons by a megalomaniac extraterrestrial running a horribly delusional secretive regime from below The Great Pyramid, having murdered anyone able to intellectually challenge them.[19]
- Every human is free to nourish any thoughts and feelings he or she wishes. In each case he or she harvests the effect from this cause. No human has the right to do evil and un-right to another human being, not to mention to murder him; the death penalty also being a form of murder.[20]
- Sacrifice, submissiveness and subjugation prevent the human being’s evolution of consciousness. They hold his Consciousness in the coarse-vibrational realm (Aura= pink/violet).[21] [see Decalogue/Dodecalogue, 3rd recommendation (Books)]
- Hell is not a real physical place, rather its described as a human condition which is therefore in the human being him or herself, in his or her mental-block, which he or she forms inside him or herself by means of incorrect thoughts and feelings.[22] [see The Deadly Might Of Thoughts And Feelings]
- Paradise or heaven is again and in the same vein not a real physical place, in the sky etc., rather it is again a condition in the human being [see previous point] ...which he himself or she herself forms by means of good and beautiful thoughts and feelings.[23]
- Jmmanuel did not commit suicide on the cross, rather he only appeared to be dead [see the Talmud of Jmmanuel). But it is totally illogical to think that someone could allow him or herself to be killed and thereby release someone else from his or her sins, respectively, undo his or her sins. The laws and recommendations of Creation do not allow hocus pocus.[24]
- The Goblet of Truth, the book of the entire teaching of the prophets, contains the correct teaching, namely, the teaching of truth, the teaching of life, the teaching of spirit.[25]
- Fundamentally, God is an invention of the human being, respectively a manifestation of the Human Brain, whereby, in the human being, over millions of years, the imaginary divinity has been inherited in the form of a special schizophrenic, epileptic delusion and has established itself in the temporal lobes as well as in the parietal lobes. Therefore Religious experiences which arise constitute forms of schizophrenic delusion and are the result of a genetically inherited religious belief.[27]
- What use is a scientific discovery if they cannot include it into a bigger whole, into the bigger picture, in order to then draw to the right conclusions, because at present we have collectively together apparently developed a completely false picture of the Creation, Universal Consciousness or Universe.[28]
- The Creation, Universal Consciousness or Universe is not simply an accumulation of chance and chaos. It is in its laws and recommendations, in the external Storage Banks and in our conscious memory, just as it is in the subconscious memory and in the countless forms of Consciousness, Unconsciousness and Sub-consciousness, etc.[29]
- Earth scientists assign the Santorini catastrophe during the time of Moses as being circa 1,500 B.C, while the Plejaren give the time 3,453 B.C.[30]
