Taoism and the concept the yin yang symbol represents strongly resonated with me when I was a kid. Then I grew a little older and realized the symmetries in physics get closer to the core of what I was resonating with lol
Naturalistic/ Scientific Pantheism is my favorite. It basically takes the religious attitude of ultimate reverence, importance or (sacredness), and moral dedication to a higher power and gives it to nature or "Nature" which some people from this community like to make synonymous with "God". Science, wonder, and appreciation and preservation for the health and beauty of all nature (including all human beings) being the best ways to serve and celebrate the higher power. Natural events such as meteor showers or equinoxes being sort of "religious holidays" lol I've grown very close with the community and find it an excellent source of inspiration. I don't think I would subscribe to the "religion" if you can call it that, but some people do and actually call themselves Pantheists, but I don't find it necessary as I've always embraced these guidelines already, it's just sort of complimentary for me. Although their official symbol is the spiral (usually depicted as a spiral shell next to a galaxy) which inspired me to get a spiral necklace as sort of my cross lol I like to wear it to remind me how everything is wonderfully interconnected, as well as other things.
