Would you be satisfied with a group that attempts to create a bunch of
disorganized religions? (The New Reformed Druids of North America)

Unfortunately, they seem to have mutated into so many groups, that only a few
branches are left, and the largest one (ADF - A Druid Fellowship [in
Gaelic]) seems to have decided to stabilize itself.

There are associations of agnostics, or perhaps of Agnostics, but they seem to
believe that everyone should be Agnostic (though without a lot of oomph
behind their beliefs). And of course there are the various atheist
denominations. Though that's as much a religion as any other. Some of them
are even committed to the one true way of not believing in God (a few of them
also include gods, but most don't).

Personally, I disturst all groups that attempt to centralize authority.
Religions as much as any other. And also anti-religions, which I normally
consider as religious as their opponents. If you advocate a position, then
come out in favor of it. Don't come out against someone else's position.
Remember that the opposite of a great truth is another great truth, and try
to reserve your dedication to great truths rather than trivial ones. (I.e.,
just because you are asserting one position, and someone else is asserting an
appearantly contradictory one, doesn't mean you aren't both correct.)
