To be honest, that document is a prime example of what a manifesto shouldn't look like. I can't understand what you're trying to say from the beginning sentence:

> No other re-ligion (lit. “back-binding” [one etymological analysis of the word /religion/] to some ideas to rely on for humans) is necessary for a society, but only reasoned about principles: reflection, symmetry, cooperative construction (by too many CAs -> 1CA).

I'm never explained as to how the etymology of re-ligion relates to the whole thesis, much less what the etymology actually means. That first sentence will already make 90% of the people in the humanities to close their tabs. Please explain concepts like these in full sentences, than rather jot out abbreviations and notes that only you could decipher. I'm actually intrigued about this etymology, but I can't understand! What is "CA"? What do you mean by morality relating to symmetry?

> Evolved religions like Christianity also abide to following principles. Their followers do:

  1. think/reflect about the world (our thinking: one instance of reflection)

  2. they are in search of beauty, of beautiful/good actions/deeds (symmetry (1))

  3. they try to establish one text, one book, as core of their religion.

Now you're making very, very huge sweeping generalizations about the nature of religion right away at the second sentence, which would now make the remaining 10% of the humanities people to run away. The particular qualm I have (disclaimer: though as a non-humanities person) is the third part: religion is not operated only by what is explicitly written in the texts, but are also implicitly defined by the cultural norms of that society (which is why some religious people often try to "find" things in the text in support/opposition to current cultural norms (such as women's rights in the Bible or the Quran), rather than interpreting the text and then create a top-down cultural norm based on that!) And the "singular text" thing might just be a byproduct of you thinking Christianity is the only religion in the world... (more specifically, a product of Protestanism) Also you really need to be careful when using the term evolved: I'm not saying you shouldn't use it, but you're now adding a evolutionary view of "progress" in religion that you have never explained!

Ah, I don't have the energy to read the rest of this, people deserve a more legible manifesto than that.

Thanks for your comment! [edit] Did explain short term CA in abstract. And regarding my sweeping generalizations, well, I cannot do without (it's about math, too, see last remark of this paragraph). You're right, there's much fighting over interpretations of holy books' content and cultural norms, but anyhow a base text is made available. Regarding symmetry as beauty and good deeds, I had my headache about including it, but as mutual reciprocity/respect of citizens, that has some validity. The real reason, though, I included symmetry is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalence_relation : Symmetry is the second relation. I am not going abstract without a reason. In principle #1, you see THE foundation of math.

abstract

No other re-ligion (lit. "back-binding" [one etymological analysis of the word /religion/] to some ideas to rely on for humans) is necessary for a society, but only reasoned about principles (prin-ciple: the thing to grasp first , primus+capere): reflection, symmetry, cooperative construction (by too many Central Authorities [too-many-CAs] -> only 1 Central Authority [1CA]; see Cultural Principle below).

Evolved religions like Christianity also abide to following principles. Their followers do: 1. think/reflect about the world (our thinking: one instance of reflection) 2. they are in search of beauty, of beautiful/good actions/deeds (symmetry (1)) to form a sustainable society 3. they try to establish one text, one book, as core of their religion: an instance of a CA (among other religions with their corresponding CAs)

(1) Seems like rather a far fetched argument, but who is not in search of beauty? The necessary association of beauty with symmetry anyhow is clearly shown in arts education about proportions, geometries of the human face or body. Good deeds and mutual respect/reciprocity of citizens, showing off characteristics of symmetry, too?!

Uncovering an abstract core of every human religion is our goal here for the betterment of education and world management. (Respect for every evolved religion is granted, but having different people adhering to different religions is not a good way to start thinking about a unity of humanity -- despite the potential of tolerance in various religions.)

The priciples reflection, symmetry, and cooperative construction are elaborated below.
