Soreal Philosophy and Religion

Sorealism is clearly a (nascent  and nebulous) philosophy, somehow grounded on the principles of scepticism, existentialism and scientific doubt, so how on earth can it ever include religion? Soreal faith would be a contradiction in terms. We probably place the great religions of the world somewhere up there with myth, delusion and anthropology. But there's an important distinction between the principles of sorealism and the evangelical atheists like Richard Dawkins or Sam Harris (author of The End of Faith).

Why? Because though sorealism's clear eyed vision would exclude the absolute commands of faith, we have to accept the importance religion has played in human culture, both recorded and documented by anthropologists and archaeologists. Our rationality tells us that we a living on a speck of dust on the outer edge of one galaxy in billions, but our emotions and our instincts tell us we're the centre of the universe and want to live forever.

This historical understanding of religion, and an emotional tolerance for its appeal, would be more soreal than simple rationalist disbelief. Like it or loathe it, one can't wish away relligion historically. And though sorealists believe in the vital central role that doubt must play in human understanding, much like science, it takes its own doubts a little further. 

If you're a true sorealist, you're not an atheist (which is still an inverse form of theism) but a sceptic. A sceptic must down his or her own doubt from time to time, include their lack of belief
