  You can have that worldview without religion.

  Out of curiousity, which one is this?

  And whether you look under the rug, is that true in all texts of the religion?

    Buddhism, more specifically vajrayana.

    I think it’s better understood amongst practitioners that if you don’t walk the path then you’re not really a Buddhist.  I know this is true of pretty much all religions but there’s no, what I call, John 3:16 clause.  There are many Christian’s who think just believing in Jesus.  This may be true in other religions too but I’m from Christianity.  Buddhism gave me a different perspective on what it means to believe though.  To believe in a teacher is to follow and apply those teachings through every aspect existence.  Believe or take refuge in the teaching, not the vehicle that delivered that teaching.
