Imagine a religion that isn't based on "us vs. them"... Oh, right. You'd literally have to, as it hasn't ever existed.

Buddhism and Taoism are such a way, I believe. Beliefs where there isn't really good and evil, just creation and destruction as two halves of a cycle.

Both are bloody AF, and not that long ago. Neither are simply an outlook, and millions throughout history have been murdered in their name.

More to the point, any "higher power" that designates individuals/groups as "good" or "evil" based on its own internal system is exactly what I'm talking about. Anything beyond that is merely classifying it as something closer to a religion with each step toward dictating followers' behavior.
