I have created a new religion, "Openish" (open-minded). It is basically to always have an open mind and to never draw conclusions; you just explore and learn as you go, sort of.. What do you think of it, will it be the next big thing? :p

It could work. I think any religious attitude that incorporates facts and an awe for nature is what needs to take place as far as a new religion is concerned. Being open minded has to help with that.
If you haven't looked into the Cosmic Religious feeling I would recommend reading the part of "The Quotable Einstein" that deals with religion, or Carl Sagens idea of the cosmic perspective, or finding our place in the universe. One can also google or youtube search the Overview Effect, which is a religious feeling stemming from the realization of Earth's and Humanity's fraility that is perhaps best espoused by atronauts who go up into space and see how small of a world it is.
