In 2007, reacting to several personal crises and a disagreement over an annulment with the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of St. Louis, he founded the Church of Belief Science. The founding of the Church of Belief Science represents the establishment of the first coherently designed and acknowledged fully postmodern religion. He defined the Belief Science philosophy in two publications, a popular press book entitled, Toward a Positive Psychology of Religion: Belief Science in the Postmodern Era, and a church manual, The Church of Belief Science: A Complete Guide to Philosophy and Practice, Second Edition. The Church of Belief Science philosophy applies postmodern theory (specifically social constructivism) to human relations in a religious context. He provided the postmodern definition of belief—belief is acting with others as if some socially defined concept represents truth. He argued that ancient religions are based on negative premises (e.g., sin, suffering, condemnation), and he made the case for a positive philosophy as a foundation for religious practice. In his religious works, he applied the concept of “consensualities” or “bracketed absolute truths” to explain the many practiced religions, because each religion represents absolute truth within its community of followers. This explains why there appear to be many competitive “absolute truths.” For Christians, Jesus is God. For Buddhists, the teachings of the Buddha represent truth. For Muslims, Muhammad’s works are prophetic. And for Jews, the teaching of the prophets hold weight. The followers of each religion believe (or tend to believe) their religion represents “the only truth.” Comparatively, the Church of Belief Science is built on 13 Canons. The first is the concept of “consensualizing,” which acknowledges that all truths have validity within communities of believers. But Cottone concluded that ethical standards must be accepted in a profession of faith, or beliefs that are potentially harmful to humanity may garner support within a community at the expense of some or all other people. The ethical Canons of the Church of Belief Science are 12 ethical principles, including: Optimism, Respect for Life, Loving Relations, Respect of Nature, Responsible Parenthood or Guardianship of Children, Free Religious Expression, Free Religious Practice, Non-maleficence, Beneficence, Non-offensiveness, Respect for Learning, and Fairness. Members of the Church simply pledge to live by and uphold the Canons. Several representative quotes from his religion books are: “The judgment day has come, and the judgment is clear. Ancient religions can no longer serve the needs of humanity”; “There is no independence, but only degrees of dependence”; “We are, therefore we think”; “One’s relationships are greater than one’s self”; “Relationships are everything, and everything is relationship”; “There is no mystery of faith. Faith is people coming to believe together”; there is a “collective conscience–the group ethic that replaces and supersedes the concept of individual conscience”; and finally, “the positive ethic of the human spirit is viewed as contagious–the type of contagion that a positive psychology of religion represents.”
