Catholicism is most concerned with being intellectual.

Gnosticism, calvinism, deism, confuciscism

Elitism?

Um.
I have no idea if this is codified... I have understood bits of it through Alan Moore's Promethea, and the series Unwritten. Other authors that I like have touched on it.
Loosely, I would describe it as the effect that fiction writers have on the actual direction of society. Mythology and fairytales have their place.
In practice, I would refer to my experience of telling a story to a child to affect their behavior and thoughts and perspective. On a larger scale, this has much more power.

It is quite difficult for me to put into words...

Judaism. The whole religion revolves around autistic argument over the reading of a text, and the reading of the readings of a text, and the readings of the readings of the readings of a text.

Orthodox Christianity
>>
>>8605972
Yeah, actually this is correct.

They also fetishize and ritualize writing their holy book to an amazing degree.

I mean, they are called The People of the Book.
>>
>>8605977
Orthodox Christianity cares about studying the older theologians more than Catholicism, but they're not really about scholarship-based enlightenment. They see prayer, love, fasting and stoic serenity as the best way to gain knowledge. All their writings are basically about pursuing that.
>>
>>8605282
No real answer, every religion can be /lit/.
It also depends on where you live, what's your mother tongue, etc. caring about your culture and roots is pretty /lit/ on itself.
>>
The meme answer is Greek Paganism
The contrarian answer is Christianity
The correct answer is Islam, because it has the greatest depth of literary scholarship

Catholicism, easy

Real answer is atheism.

Technical answer is Gnosticism or Catholic/Orthodox Christianity
>>
>>8607351
Why Gnosticism, out of interest?

Definitely gnosticism. Lots of smug pricks pretending to know more about the deep mysteries, mostly just as clueless as the rest. Very /lit/.
>>
>>8605282
I am so sick of this thread
>>
>>8608688
Nice dubs.

Why do you think Gnosticism is so revered on this board, does it have some deeper meaning than later Christianity/Judaism or do people like it just because it is esoteric and obscure?
>>
If you mean what religion has the most provoking reading material, I would say Gnosticism, Catholicism, and Mahayana Buddhism. Then dive right into New Religious Movements. I really want to read The Word Appears in the Flesh, but I need to finish the Bible first.
>>
>>8608699
Good dubs yourself, although it's no 93

No idea if it is revered. I'm sure it's due to being weird, mystic lost knowledge and a great pyramid scheme where you can study yourself into being top, a more acceptable version of scientology. Hate the abrahamics as much as you like but at least they attempted to be egalitarian.

Time for a revival of Theosophy.

Either Confucianism or Panentheism
