It's a Church because I need something to believe in, I need faith to get thru each day, and I need a faith that makes sense to me. My 'bible' is a book of Hubble photographs of bits and pieces of the universe. As the founding prophet of this new religion, I am strong in my belief that everything is part of the material universe, but the material universe encompasses far more than we can ever know.
It's Reality-Based because we live in a material universe, all our functionings are extrusions of that material universe, and the material universe is all the god I need, or know.
A Complex Multiverse is a fancy way of saying we live in a big complicated universe, and that there is far more to this universe than what we see . . . . . .

Because the universe is a far bigger and more complicated entity than anyone has yet imagined, and because even hard atheist materialists sometimes need something to believe in . . . . . .

Sounds cool. Do you offer auditing and stalking?
Heard this woman on the former art-bell show who was talking about angels and the way she was talking about them and 'god' seemed to me to describe my conception of relation between creator/created. That really it is all one of the same. Of course colored with a heavy over-dub of christianity.
Like that Marcus Aurelius quote, 'look up at the stars and imagine that you are among them because we are' or something like that, yes we are made of the stuff we are among. We are the world, we are the universe.
So what i see is that if we live in an infinite universe, that wherever life can exist, it does. If some strange lychen can live on asteroids in deep space, then they do, somewhere. Wherever conditions allow there are flowers.
Life-energy is always interconnected and maybe what the xians call god is simply a description of being connected to that totality, and the despair of being separate from it.
She also talked about the 'angels' as being frequency beings, like being the shooting neurons of the mind of god.
There's the rub, if there are such beings, barring species death or civilization dismemberment, then at some time in the future we will have discovered the residue of their existence and a means to communicate with them. In some way, maybe thru applications of quantum mechanics, or some yet undiscovered science. But everything that exists leaves some evidence that it does or did exist.
There cannot be a god who can transform a tree into a sunset then to a rainbow dancing on a unicorn. Life, as we know it, conforms to natural laws.
What makes me think that life happens spontaneously, and that 'life energy' has a non-local component is that we live on a rock, a mass, that in some point in time did not have us critters swiming its seas and crawling its more solid surfaces. Yes there could have been a 'cosmic seeds' some bit that survived in some rock.
But the universe is big, really really big, and I would hypothesize that anyplace that can support life does. And if given the chance I would look at all the evidence. But not all of the results are in, and if those results contradicted my hypothesis/belief, then I would modify the hypothesis.
Of course this cannot happen by magic, an ape, no matter how smart, cannot crawl from the mud and ride a tricycle in a moment. Something happens (?) and then there's a cell and the observation of the process of nothing to cell may also be a many faceted jewel, if we could look at with enough resolution. We cannot even create another human like ourselves without using the inherited biological mechanisms.
These are all maybe upon maybe, and I can see why so many would choose to trade so many questions for one singular answer. I would too if that answer is at least questioned, and incorporates all of our other knowledge. Because if it is true then it will mesh with our other knowledges. If it doesn't then it probably isn't true.
