ABSTRACT
At present religious naturalism is primarily a philosophical perspective. It involves mainly commitments to abstract doctrines about reality and value. A theist literally affirms the existence of at least one divine person. A divine person has superhuman powers and is not essentially embodied in ordinary matter. The second strategy religious naturalists can use to develop religious practices involves turning away from theistic religions to the development of new and entirely non-theistic natural religions. Since these natural religions will not involve any divine persons, they will not be religions of worship. Religious naturalists have proposed practices aimed at extending people's concern to the natural world beyond humanity. Ecotherapies aim to provide people with physical and mental health benefits by immersing them in wild environments. The natural religions can adopt many ancient Stoic practices. The ancient Stoics were concerned with physiological self-realization.
