Wake up babe, a new religion/church was just formed on reddit for LGBTQIA+ folx and it's not bait! 
r/PrismaticLightChurch
What is the Church of Prismatic Light?
✨We are the first church in the Prismatic faith which is an LGBTQIA+ focused religion that values the true self.
What are the Seven Tenets?
Can I be a part of another religion and still join?
✨Yes! Prismatism is non exclusionary
Do you worship a deity?
✨No. We celebrate the love of your true self and your identity as a human being.
Is there a statement of faith?
✨Yes! We believe like the emanations of light through a prism that we are all unique and beautiful beings worthy of love, self discovery and dignity.
Are you affiliated with another religion?
✨No. We are an entire new religion, separate to all others.
Will there be a website where we can officially join the church?
✨Yes! It’s being made right now! Membership is free!
Will you fundraise?
✨We have a donation link in the website and all donations will be used to create promotional material, start services for LGBT youth, and to cover any future legal fees.
How do I become ordained?
✨ Once the non profit status is approved we will begin ordaining Priestx.
Can I start a local chapter in my state?
✨Eventually! First we need to get federally recognized as a church and are working towards that now!
How can we help?
✨We need publicity! Spread on social media and word of mouth. Make art! Help us make merchandise we can wear at Pride! There’s lots of ways to help us grow!
How is this different that The Satanic Temple?
✨ We are more LGBT focused but do share a lot of similar ideas! Prismatism has transitioning as a sacred ritual.
Where is church service held?
✨Service is held Saturday from 6pm-7pm central standard time on the church’s TikTok page
Will there ever be in person services?
✨We sure hope so! We’d love to be able to grow enough to have physical building where we could bring communities together and offer services and resources.
I will add more to this list as questions continue. Love and light from your High Priestx ✨🌈
There are seven key tenets of Prismatic faith. These are inalienable rights to each member of the faith. They are as follows:
The innate worth and dignity of every individual
The inherent right to discover and accept one’s true self and take the steps necessary to present that true self to the world
Love is love, and every person has an inherent right to consensual love between adults (including self love) without discrimination
The inherent right to bodily autonomy which is subject to their will alone.
All beings must act with compassion and empathy towards all living things to the best of their ability
The inherent right to receive affirming medical care. Medical decisions are at the discretion of the individual and their healthcare providers alone, and shall not be infringed upon. This includes gender affirming medical care and/or medical reproductive care.
It is our intrinsic duty to fight for the oppressed and to stand against our oppressors when injustice is being done.

Origin Story!
I did a radical thing to help fight these oppressive anti trans laws and wanted to share with y’all
I have a teenager who is FTM transgender. We live in Oklahoma and 3 days ago he told me he’d end his own life if laws like the one in Alabama passed here in Oklahoma and he could no longer get his testosterone treatment.
I am fed up. I am mostly a total nobody but one thing I do have is a large following on TikTok. So I had this radical idea and shared it with them and boy oh boy is it gaining momentum so I figured I should share it here, too.
Basically all of these anti trans bills are being funded by Christian nationalist legal organizations like the ADF and ALEC behind the scenes. All done under the guise of religious freedom. Well WHAT IF I started a new religion whose tenets of faith INCLUDED gender affirming medical care and transitioning as a part of its core doctrine. It’s not unheard of! The Satanic Temple has abortion as a religious ritual and has had some success. And it’s not hard to start a church. John Oliver started one on his show. So I asked my followers. What if we really did this.
Well it’s 24 hours later and we have over 22,000 members, I gathered a board of directors and we submitted the paperwork to be a non profit, and it’s blowing the frick up all over TikTok. Turns out people are as serious as I was about using these fascists own playbook against them.
Maybe it’s stupid. But I have officially started The Church of Prismatic Light and I’m working to be federally recognized as a religion. One that can be used if states try to ban HRT or pass other anti trans laws as violating OUR Religious freedom.
No idea how this will go but darn it it’s worth a shot and I’m tired of not being able to fight back. So wish me luck I guess, because yeah, I just started a grassroots movement.
(PS it’s a secular religion with no diety just the love of your true self)
Until the website is up please find us at /r/prismaticlightchurch

If you don't believe in yourself would that be blasphemy?

There are religions that do not worship any god, like theravada Buddhism.
Locking a Buddhist monk and a Priestx in a room to discuss philosophy, now that would be good tv

(Traditional) Buddhists still very much believe in deities, the only difference is that even these gods are still subject to the cycle of death and reincarnation, they aren't almighty or immortal, they just happen to live much longer lives than human beings and have much greater power than them.
And enlightened beings (Buddhas) are pretty much treated like how every other religion treats gods.
The confusion might arise from the fact that Buddhism does dispute the concept of a capital G God who created the universe, but it's anything but a supernatural-free religion (despite of what grifters like Sam Harris might try to tell you).

It was my understanding that Theravada (small vehicle?) Buddhism focuses much less/not at all on gods and demons than Mahayanna buddhism popular in Japan and China (among other places)?
If I was wrong, my apologies. I was given this explanation about the difference between those two.
Harris is a hack lol; besides even if Theravada buddhism has no gods the idea of reincarnation remains far outside what we know of nature

There's obviously regional and doctrinal differences, but as far as I am aware, all traditional forms of Buddhism (AKA all the ones which haven't been subjected to "modernization" to make them palatable to religiously disaffected Westerners) still very much treat Buddhas as quasi-gods and affirm reincarnation as a doctrine.

that sounds less like a religion and more like a state of mind

I've seen definitions of religions that included worship of the supernatural and definitions that excluded it.
If I get my history nerd on I'd say that religion need not necessarily be forced to centre on the supernatural
confucianism and roman imperial cults are exemples of religions where the supernatural was used to reinforce traditions of learning, duty or obedience to the state.

They don't worship a God but they do still have deities. Same with Jainism and you can even pray to them for supplication.
