I find that an interesting topic too! Especially the phrase "human nature." Sometimes it feels like saying human nature is an excuse for not developing as a person or a civilization, while other times it seems some people are very troubled by the idea that they believe they are slaves to the reactive mind. It seems to all depend on perspective, but I'd love to find more perspectives about it!
Havism is a relatively new religion that I'm not so good at explaining. It does promote non-violence, but that isn't required. The religion focuses on the equality of race/gender/sexuality/religion/etc of all humans, being able to understand multiple perspectives, and able to converse with one another and able to express ideals without the typical angry backlash.
It's a religion that encourages its followers to discover their own answers and delve into science to find out their questions as opposed to turning to the religion itself.
The holy text consists of many stories and scenarios with no rightly defined answer and it is meant to stimulate a natural wonder of what is truly right and what is truly wrong when consequences are not defined.
Sort of like Geigy's Ring, which states that if humans could commit an injustice without any consequences or anyone knowing about it, they would be driven to do such things.
The main thing I like about Havism is that it does agree with most of my ideals--that no life is better than all life, human equality, expressing oneself, etc.
There are holidays and such and the religion does take great pride in allowing everyone to have fun haha
