Well, what is the supernatural power in us? Maybe that through vision and sharing and variation in ideas you can accomplish supernatural stuff.

As humans through the centuries we have done marvelous stuff like exploring the oceans, building walls that stretch continents, flying, visiting the deepest places in the ocean, going though various speed records, understanding nature, sending crafts outside the solar system, walking on the moon, communicating without real delay with the other side of the world etc etc. This all is above the natural possibilities of what we biologically could do. You could see this as a supernatural power.

But what is the divine in us? You could see the holistic factor that comes out of good coorperation and good design as something divine. The whole is more than the sum of all the parts with an intelligent design. The accomplishments create something new and bigger than all the tasks to accomplish it. This “X-Factor” is the divine that should be worshipped. And many already do this with for example visiting museums and landmarks.

So us is not really new. Lots of people are already celebrating coorperation, creativity and the diversity within the human spiecies. But I think this us label can make people aware what can be accomplished together in this world were people are focussed on forming same interest groups, live in fear for what is different, terrorize each other people forget what we have already formed out of diversity.

We should not focus on what same interest groups are saying, we should open up and talk to different minded people. People in other professions, people in other countries, people with other believes. We should not fear each other. If we all understand each other we would never hurt each other and we will even help each other. We can reach higher levels and reach now unimaginable goals.

People should open up their concept of us. Us should have no limits.

Lets meet in the “us churches” aka discussion panels, conferences, internet forums, museums etc and celebrate what us has accomplished and what can be accomplished if we listen to everyone. Don’t set aside the differences, learn of those differences.

Well the only thing that keeps us from being a religion is that a religion is a kind of institution. A religion is a kind of structure with a group of people belonging to it. Is us worth to be a real religion? Would you believe in us?
