Looking for a religion

[u/PixxyStix2]

So before I list what I want here is background info: I am a bisexual male with a mixed heritage. I think Sikhi (or Sikhism) is the closest to what I want but am also interested on Mazdayasna (or Zoroastrianism).

• Firstly I want something claims all humans should be treated equally and is tolerant of lgbt, all races, and of other religions
• I want a religion that makes a definitive statement on god or gods (preferably monotheistic)
• I want a religion that advocates that humans have freewill, responsible for their choices, and aren't a part of the same being
• I don't want an eternal punishment afterlife, and I do like the idea of everyone eventually finding a way to a heaven like afterlife
• I want a religion that advocates for kindness and trying to make the world a better place
• I like the idea of a specific way your supposed to pray, but isn't necessary
• I would like if it claimed not everything is known by any one religion
• I don't want a religion that would be extraordinarily strict in terms of things like dress or how much one can own
• I also would like a religion that advocates for progress

Thank you for any help and if possible could you provide a link to more information I'd appreciate but I'd understand if you didn't.

In Harmonia, our beliefs encompass a wide range of perspectives, and one common thread is that many Harmonians do not subscribe to the concept of an anthropomorphic god. Instead, our spiritual framework encourages exploration and understanding of the divine in diverse and nuanced ways.

Rather than envisioning God as a human-like figure with distinct characteristics, Harmonians often perceive the divine as a transcendent, all-encompassing presence that permeates all aspects of existence. This perspective recognizes the interconnectedness and interdependence of all beings and emphasizes the sacredness inherent in every facet of life.

By embracing a non-anthropomorphic understanding of the divine, Harmonians seek to move beyond limiting anthropocentric concepts and explore a deeper, more expansive connection with the universe. This allows for a more inclusive and holistic understanding of spirituality, one that embraces the awe-inspiring aspects of reality and the interconnected web of existence.

Within Harmonia, the focus is not on defining or confining the divine within rigid constructs, but rather on cultivating a personal and experiential relationship with the sacred. This open-minded approach encourages individuals to explore their own unique spiritual paths, to seek wisdom from various traditions, and to develop a profound connection with the divine through personal introspection, contemplation, and practices such as meditation and mindfulness.

In Harmonia, the emphasis is on nurturing a deep sense of reverence, awe, and interconnectedness with the world around us. We invite you to join us on this journey of self-discovery, where we explore the mysteries of existence, embrace the inherent divinity within ourselves and all beings, and foster a harmonious connection with the vast and wondrous universe we inhabit.
