    How so, isn’t it a definite origin for how all of the everything got here and what it means to be part of the origin. Is there a religion without an origin story implied or actuated?

      did you just not read my comment? all I said is there is more to religion than an origin story eg beliefs, holy texts (like the talmud which isn’t about origination), and rituals/practices. lighting the candles on shabbat isn’t about where we came from

        I’m not to familiar with Jewish customs but aren’t those candles part of a metaphor for the dawn of creation. The seven days to create the cosmos? How is that not part of the origin story of the everything?
