This page is a [[Religious Method]] stub; please help by expanding it
At [[Sol 2012]], we asked ourselves what a Religious Method, equivalent to the Scientific Method, would look like. Could religion begin a period of rapid progress if it had a method of its own? This implies that we need to consider what religions do. More specifically we need to consider what they would do if they were using a Religious Method that constrained them in much the same way that the Scientific Method contrains science. The idea that religion could begin a period or rapid progress due to a new method means that we are expecting that religion could change the way it behaves abandoning things it did in the past and picking up new behaviours in the future. So in editing this page consider only things that religions have done in the past that were useful, appealing and/or inspirational. Also try to imagine new things that religions could do that would be positive contributions to humanity. Those things that religons have done or continue to do which are negative, counter-productive, disgusting and/or spirit-crushing belong on our page of things relgions should be forbidden to do.
