So is it a religion?
Yes! One Love is a Religion for many reasons. First, because we are organized around the Spiritual mission of Restoring Heaven on Earth, a truly divine purpose. Religion is the search for the Divine. At One Love we have taken that quest and found the Divine within ourselves, in one another and within our Mother Earth and all beings upon Her. At One Love we believe that “God is Love” and an indwelling connection to a Loving Creator is an essential part of the solution. When we connect with the Divinity within, we have access to our innate worth, purpose, inner wisdom, infinite love and the meaning of life. We do not seek to heal ourselves, but to remember that we are innately whole and healthy, pure, strong and free.
We are proclaiming that we are a Religion to access our First Amendment rights to practice our religion. And, to reclaim the word “Religion” which has been co opted and used to mean oppression, subjugation, judgment, eternal damnation… But that’s not the only way. It can also be a group of Light-minded, conscious, committed people unifying for a Spiritual purpose, guided by their hearts and inner wisdom to Restore Heaven on Earth.
