ABSTRACT
Rigorous and conscientious inquiry is a key element in flourishing societies and organizations. Because Religious Naturalism (RN) is a burgeoning movement and unique in its religious outlook in fundamental ways compared to most Western traditions, now is the time to lay the groundwork for conceiving and generating adult religious educational models that draw from the successes of other educational programs and to take into account RN's specific characteristics. Acts of religious devotion include innumerable expressions of the profound recognition that life is precious. Communication in reflexive or social form is part of the process of creating meaning, another condition of query. Meaning occurs when a person asserts, makes, or does something that relates to something significant in her life, when she judges assertively, exhibitively, or actively in relation to some other meaningful thing. Co-operative inquiry is a systematic, democratic approach to inquiry that provides a group setting for adults to generate knowledge, which is applied to achieve practical goals.
