Here’s where I’m at.
There’s not a doubt in my mind that god is real.
Still not really a fan of organized religion though.
The Tao Te Ching has interesting commentary on ritual, and thus in context can refer to organized religion.
It places the Tao at the top (basically the source of everything), and then has a hierarchy of goodness, kindness, justice, and then ritual. Ritual is basically what's left after its drained of its depth, and people go through motions that are now quite distanced from the original purpose or context.
