My Own Religion
I really want to develop my own religion full or daily rituals to remind me of great things I need to do. It would also be important for raising a kid if that ever happens. I would try to guide his youth education by the idea (turned into a pithy mantra) that the world is harsh and chaotic unless you get off to a fast start, learn all the classics that are debated, the way the world operates, and are in a position - as soon as possible, to make up your OWN mind about things (which is really, really hard to do in a satisfying way)...that is what makes modern life so hard....for the first time in human history a large majority of people are expected to make important decisions of meaning and value on their own. Also this is what freedom is.
