Ask Americans what their religion is, and nearly 1 in 3 say this -- none. That’s according to the U.S. adults surveyed by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.
Mike Dulak grew up Catholic in Southern California, but by his teen years, he began skipping Mass and driving straight to the shore to play guitar, watch the waves and enjoy the beauty of the morning. “And it felt more spiritual than any time I set foot in a church,” he recalled.
Nothing has changed that view in the ensuing decades.
“Most religions are there to control people and get money from them,” said Dulak, now 76, of Rocheport, Missouri. He also cited sex abuse scandals in Catholic and Southern Baptist churches. “I can’t buy into that,” he said.

My Discordianism is explicitly scienctific. There isn't a scientific theory or study or concept I'm aware of that is incompatible with my interpretation of Discordian teaching. Discordianism was initially developed by a computer scientist. Idk what disorganized religions you have experienced, but Discordianism has always been rooted in scientific thought. It was always intended to be a quantum physics compatible system of belief, a disruptive philosophical response to the disruptive scientific discoveries of the 20th century.
