Religions without a deity, also called 

nontheistic religions, include traditions like Buddhism, Jainism, and Taoism that do not center on the belief or worship of a god or gods. These traditions often focus on ethical principles, self-improvement, and a path to enlightenment or fulfillment independent of divine intervention, with meaning derived from within the individual or through a connection to the universe, such as in Shintoism.

The existence of "good" magic depends on differing viewpoints

: some belief systems, like the Christian perspective, see all magic as forbidden and originating from a negative source, while others, particularly within Paganism and occult traditions, differentiate between benevolent "white magic" for helpful purposes and malicious "black magic" for harm. Many practitioners of white magic aim to use their abilities for healing, blessings, and other selfless acts, adhering to principles like "if it does no harm, do your own will".

Being Jewish is not just an ideology, but a complex 

ethnoreligious identity that includes religion, culture, ancestry, and community, and can be defined in different ways by individuals and various Jewish denominations. While Judaism is a religion, a person can be Jewish through birth or conversion without practicing the faith, as seen with the concept of halakha (Jewish law).

The idea that "TikTok is magic" 

likely refers to its highly effective recommendation algorithm, which creates a personalized and addictive "push-not-pull" entertainment feed, and the ability of users to achieve instant virality. While the platform can feel magical due to its engaging content and instant gratification, this addictive quality contributes to issues like reduced attention spans, or "TikTok Brain".

Time is relative 

because its passage depends on the observer's frame of reference, a direct consequence of the universal constant speed of light. According to Einstein's special relativity, a clock moving at a high velocity relative to a stationary observer will tick slower, an effect called time dilation. The closer an object's speed gets to the speed of light, the more pronounced this time dilation becomes, slowing time to a near standstill.

 According to a 2017 USA Swimming Foundation study, 45 percent of Latino children do not know how to swim or have low swimming ability, putting them at risk of drowning. That number rises depending on parent’s swimming ability — 62 percent of Latino children are likely to not have good swimming skills if their parents have no or low swimming ability.

And their percentage is growing.

Estimating the global atheist population is difficult, but numbers range from 

7% (450-500 million nonbelievers) to figures around 13% of "convinced atheists" in some surveys, with the majority concentrated in East Asia, particularly China, and Europe. However, projections suggest that the share of religiously unaffiliated people may decline over time due to higher birth rates in religious populations.
