I’m fascinated by the ‘religion inside rationalism’ thing. I think my biggest question is- are you sure it isn’t already a religion? It has ethical teachings it pushes (EA), revered prophets (like him!), sacred writings (The codex), and even communities of adherents.

It seems like religions are generally evolved to be for the average person, leaving those on the periphery dissatisfied. Who exactly is the rationalist religion for? Something which works for the average person probably doesn't work for the average rationalist, or for the peripheral rationalist. Something which accommodates all of the above seems like it would be super soft as to lack all coherence.
