Philosophies are Secular/Atheist religions.

Firstly, I am an Atheist and secondly I don’t mean that “too literally”, yes philosophies don’t have temples, rituals and etc. I’m speaking more in terms of purpose and on what questions they ask and answer.

What I mean is that they want answer to the same question with a tweak.

Religions ask: “There is a God or there is some form of supernatural spirituality, so what ?, what’s the meaning of life (and any other question you can imagine).”

Philosophies ask: “Regardless of religious scriptures and (usually assuming) there is no form of supernatural spirituality, so what ?, what’s the meaning of life (and any other question you can imagine).”
