There are certainly exceptions like Buddhism, if you consider that a religion.
- m0llusk 5y agoIn theory that is true, but in practice Buddhism breaks down into the usual behaviors with reverence for the central figure and tenets and tribalism for the followers.
- denton-scratch 5y agoActually, what's true in practice is true in theory as well; reverence for the sangha ("buddhist community") is baked in as one of the three precious jewels. Buddhist prostrations are a gesture of submission to the three jewels. Tantric buddhism adds a fourth target of reverence: the guru. And reverence for the guru in tantra extends to absolute obedience to your personal teacher. Buddhism is very culty.
