jackQ. You said "Atheistic"? Everyone thinks they know what it means, but are they right?
It's easier to start by defining a religion, because even if they can't put it into words, most people have a fairly clear idea what it is. When souls travel further into death from the Veil Albicant, they often follow, or move in the wake of, a soul ahead of them. But they typically move into a whole region of death defined by the passing of a great soul long ago: as far as we know, this is essentially what the different veils are.
The Christian heaven is loosely used to describe the Veils Albicant, Ecolumbine and Celeste, though one might properly say that the Veil Ecolumbine is that part of the journey that magicians have ever visited, the Veil Celeste that they have heard of from angels -- enlightened souls (or possibly other beings) further into death -- and heaven anything beyond.
This region is defined by the passage of several great prophets. The most general definition of a Christian would be someone who believed that the most recent of these beings was Jesus of Nazareth, who reported the true gospel of the first of these beings, God, who created the world and whose essence the Veil Ecolumbine and Veil Celeste lead towards.
In general, a religion is a belief system which ascribes moral weight to such a being, or some other supernatural existence, and prays to it for guidance or intervention, or otherwise defines their life in terms of it.
A cult typically references a specific soul, often one not far from life, who they are more immediately able to contact, but is quite definitely not a god!
Technically, an atheist is someone who doesn't believe any such being is worth following, although most atheists take the more specific belief that there is only the most hearsay evidence of the deeper veils, and a rationalistic approach would treat only the parts of the world and veils we have any experience of.
But messengers come back from death, from deep in death to the nearer veils, and from nearer veils. How can there be any doubt?
The deeper into death you go, the more you're changed. Most people find their personality pared away, becoming a sliver of -- something. Intelligent messengers from deeper death are generally not recognisable as any specific soul, and are generally cryptic, seeming to have different priorities than people in life.
But you've spoken to beings from the Veil Celeste, who claim first or second hand knowledge of Jesus? And you believe that Jesus existed, and walked in death for three days before returning to life and promising eternal life for any who would follow him? And that he was in some sense both the child of Y--H and Y--H himself, returned from the very end of death?
Yes.
