that one use it in a way that is not standard religious but practical?
Apology for my poor command of English I I Quote from a site
where Simon Critchley's views are commented on.
I don't know if one can do this but I am willing to try.is it possible for us to construct a supreme fiction,
that is, a fiction which we know to be a fiction,
but in which we can nonetheless still believe?
I don't know how much is Simon Critchleywe are declaring our relationships to be divine,
as sacred as anything gets! I for one can’t think of
any other terms than religious terms like “god�,
“divine� etc. that are able to sufficiently capture
the full weight of (what) we’re doing here.
It shows that we acknowledge that, contrary to
what the New Atheists think, we need God—
not necessarily the Abrahamic God, but something
that serves the same purpose in our lives.
and how much of that that is Jens Janson own thoughts.
Maybe it is most fair to say it is Jens Janson and
how he read Simon Critchley and as he read him.
Here is link to the whole text.

I hope what I quote is clear enough to share our views on
but read the whole text if you feel unsure of background and so on.
I am not presenting this as a debate or even for heated discussion
the purpose is if one can go along with what Jens Janson suggests?
To see a coming together of friends as something sacred and
that what they do together can be referred to as sacred (godly) activity.
God as a verb more than God as an entity. Like Music.
Music as a verb is that Musicians play and the listener
actively play along in their head and together they are music being done.
Maybe my bad logic.In case you wonder why on earth I set up the thread.
One Who Belongs Nowhere I want to believe in a fictional God
that one can have faith in without going into supernatural ideas.
A totally atheist God. Not a delusional God but a known fictional God.
What one do together is real the symbol word God is the fictional name for it.
