Being a part of a system means that I share my brain and life with other distinct personality states that have different values, beliefs, goals, likes and dislikes. Instead of forcing everyone to believe and do what I do, we all work together to make sure that we can all live a fulfilling life. A part of this life is allowing ourselves to explore different religions without shame or being made to feel like we are committing a grave sin.
Around half of us are atheists or agnostics, they often just say "well I don't really think about religion." and leave it at that. The other half are mostly polytheistic (maybe because we experience our being as many so why can't the divine experience it that way as well?) with one monotheist. It feels near impossible to find a physical community where we can allow ourselves to explore our individual religions. Australia isn't that aware of mental health outside of depression and generalised anxiety, having to explain to someone that I share my brain and life with other inside-people can lead to the assumption I'm possessed.
