ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Suitheism

Okay kiddo, so you know how some people believe in God and some people don't? Well, some people believe in something called suitheism. That's just a big word that means they believe that the universe itself is like a god.

You know how sometimes you might feel really peaceful when you're out in nature, like looking at a beautiful sunset or watching the waves at the beach? Well, suitheists believe that feeling is a little bit like feeling close to a god.

They think that everything in the universe is connected, kind of like how all the parts of your body are connected. It's like a big, beautiful machine that is always working perfectly on its own. And they believe that we should respect and take care of the universe, just like we should be kind to other people and animals.

So basically, suitheism is a belief that the universe is really awesome and deserves our love and respect.
