According to you, which continent is more spiritually developed?

Personally I’m inclined not to believe Europe, Australia and North America to be such.

Antarctica. Only scientists and researchers.

China and the Scandinavian countries have the highest percentage of Atheists.

Asia, I love the different philosophy of Confucianism and Daoism. I also really believe the native American Indian religion was terrific. They acknowledged the LGBTQ’s with respect, took children in as their own and were pretty civilized.

I guess I’d want to know what “spiritually developed” means first. I know that part of the function of the word “spiritual” is its vagueness, but I don’t want to answer just based on a sense of exoticism that I may have (having not traveled the world much). I feel like I couldn’t get a good sense of a place’s spiritualism unless I actually visited.

Asia should have the highest concentration of practicing Buddhists. But for me, there can be no sensible answer to such a question. It’s like asking which is the best color.

Asia, though @stanleybmanly is correct that the question is ill-conceived.

I specify better: communion with everyone.

I have never really considered whether or not a particular land mass is spiritual or religious.

Zaku's avatar

@rojo All animists know all land masses as spiritual, but I took the question to be asking about the humans on them, since they’re the one who tend to come up with such competition fantasies about themselves.

rojo's avatar

@Zaku Well, sure, I understand that. But the facts are that at one time the worlds land masses were one single entity, Gondwanaland, but internal strife caused by “certain” areas, which shall remain nameless, trying to force their belief systems on other areas that just wanted to be left alone caused a tectonic shift in thinking. The prevailing peace and harmony was shattered like gargantuan plates in a China shop and these giant rifts forced Gondwanaland to splinter into separate continents. To this day the continents have been unable to remain fixed and continue to shift away from some of the more fundamentalist land masses and toward those that express more tolerance for the differing views of the world.

Asia for sure! I went on a backpacking trip across South Asia and I was amazed to see how spiritually inclined people are over there. I became friends with Buddhist, and I found their spiritual practices fascinating.
