The united states is founded upon the writings of Thomas Paine, and not that of any religion. His writings mainly from the works COMMON SENSE, and AGE OF REASON
PAINE: “I do not believe in the creed professed by the Jewish church, by the Roman church, by the Greek church, by the Turkish church, by the Protestant church, nor by any church that I know of. My own mind is my own church. All national institutions of churches, whether Jewish, Christian or Turkish, appear to me no other than human inventions, set up to terrify and enslave mankind, and monopolize power and profit.
Whenever we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and tortuous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness with which more than half the Bible is filled, it would be more consistent that we call it the word of a demon than the word of God. It is a history of wickedness that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind; and, for my part, I sincerely detest it, as I detest everything that is cruel.
The opinions I have advanced ... are the effect of the most clear and long-established conviction that the Bible and the Testament are impositions upon the world, that the fall of man, the account of Jesus Christ being the Son of God, and of his dying to appease the wrath of God, and of salvation, by that strange means, are all fabulous inventions, dishonorable to the wisdom and power of the Almighty; that the only true religion is Deism, by which I then meant, and mean now, the belief of one God, and an imitation of his moral character, or the practice of what are called moral virtues – and that it was upon this only (so far as religion is concerned) that I rested all my hopes of happiness hereafter.”

As for which sleep for the shortest and the longest, I don't know who has the records, but giraffes sleep for two hours or less a day, and bats sleep for up to 20 hours a day. As A_1337_Canadian said, koalas do too... no idea who wins there. Hope this helps!
Time passes fast.
The key thing is to be productive everyday so when you realize 10 years have gone by, you are proud of yourself.

I need to apply this more to my life.

Does anyone know songs that have rain and|or thunderstorms in the background? Not lofi stuff, an actual song, with someone singing.
That was in a YouTube video I watched some years ago, I took a screenshot of this to inspire myself.
In the video, the person talked about how he or she got a job in programming, but it was so long ago I don't remember which video it was.
"They know the cost of everything and the value of nothing."
If we are immortal and life is an adventure, then we have an infinite adventure.
If we are not immortal and life is an adventure, then we have an adventure that eventually ends.
My perfectionist side wants the adventure to have an end, where you understand it all. My explorer side wants it to be infinite, so there's always new stuff to discover.
Which one do you prefer, an infinite adventure or an adventure that will end at some point?
It would be fun to do a shark tank style program but with money coming from anonymous people, and somehow they get the return of investment if the company grows

There's a difference between helping because you care, and helping because you want to show off.
While both help someone, the energy is different.
