The religious method is a simple, iterative process for developing personal beliefs. It is inspired by the scientific method, but adapted for questions that science cannot answer — questions about the meaning of life, the nature of existence, morality, and what happens after we die.
It is not a religion. It is a "religious plug-in" that anyone can use to strengthen and improve their own beliefs, regardless of their faith tradition or lack thereof. The method encourages you to ask difficult questions, consider alternatives, put your answers to the test through contemplation and dialogue, and draw conclusions that make your beliefs more resilient.
Erik Zoltan is a writer and technologist. The Religious Method grew out of his own practice of systematically examining and developing personal beliefs in a world that is changing faster than our belief systems can keep up.
This site is being rebuilt around a simple idea: a place where you can work through the big questions yourself, see how others have answered them, and keep track of your own beliefs as they grow. In the meantime, you can read the whole book free online.
