Organized religion has always been the philosophy & literature of the masses, who can understand truth in only particular, mythical & symbolic manner

Yeah, in my case, it happened gradually.

I went down enough rabbit holes of metaphysics, consciousness, symbolism, and the whole "How does a worldview even assemble itself?" question that rendered religion completely useless.
Once you’ve actually wrestled with that stuff yourself, the idea of outsourcing meaning to a man-made institution feels ridiculous.

I stopped following anything and started assembling my own system from first principles.
The Cathars tried something similar and got burned for it. Different era, same dynamic.

It’s like hitler said: ’Unfortunately the great masses do not consist of philosophers or great thinkers who, because of their superior character can formulate their own values without religion’

If you regard all philosophical theories as insufficiently grounded (copium) then you should study the works of Sextus Empiricus & subsequent Pyrrhonists

As a supplement to this, you can also check the work of Wittgenstein - even his Pyrrhonism is a of linguistic kind

Being anti-philosophy requires a fair deal of intellectual work
