I'm hoping to start Tai Chi soon as well. There's one local in my area, just a few stops on the train and I'm there, either that or find some online teaching videos or something similar.
Just internet research based on what I've found, I literally just typed into Google "Is Taoism a religion?" And come up with some saying yes and some saying no. Also while watching some YouTube videos, some users were commenting saying that "it's not really a religion."
Oh right, well yeah I didn't see it as a religion from the start but I just wanted a real answer, instead of going by feelings, thanks. Also how do you know if you're a Taoist or not? Because I'm still in the basic understanding of the Tao.
I actually had to Google Birminghammers aha but all that come up was Birmingham, Alabama in which I'm guessing you was refering to? And call me what you wish, I was going to use "Kulture" or "Doxzur" as they've been my past forum names ahahaha.
