Other philosophy communities have only interpreted the world in various ways. The point, however, is to change it. [ x ]

I'm not spiritual but subscribe to the same belief. It's called theological non-cognitivism or ignosticism. Essentially it's the idea that if there I'd a higher power we don't have the means to perceive it and therefore shouldn't act as if there is one. Like, if divinity existed we'd understand it as well as a marmot would understand nuclear power and to act on such an insufficient amount of information is probably not the best call. The complexity of what God involves is so beyond our perception that it's both impossible as well as pointless to bother.

My opinion is that god is a jerk and we should train some teens with spikey hair to stab him with giant swords

It's pretty similar. Those spiky haired teens need to level up and stuff.
