will tell abt my view. i dont think rationalism and Atheism are same thing. i do believe in GOD. but i dont believe in any religious customs and rituals. i just believe there is supernatural power which is the root cause and control the entire universe and i dont believe i can change it and deal with that power using any wasteful mantras or Poojas or something stupid like that. Rationalism is just life style to prove urself that u r a human A human with commonsense A human with brain A human who can think and analyze
Like Vivekanada said, " I need you to be a rationalist than being a blind religious bcoz a rationalist has atleast brain, but the other one doesn't have it"
