    People would still think about their relationship with the universe.

    This is only really an argument against taking religious texts literally which most people don’t actually do.

      Tell that to the people who think I should be killed (or, at best, jailed and/or sent through re-education) for being a man lying with a man… because they definitely take that part literally (whilst otherwise getting tattoos, eating shrimp cocktail, and sacrificing their children to Molech).

      I’m cool with people having a relationship with the universe. Call it “God” if you must. But, that relationship is definitely personal.

        Thats why i make a distinction between religious person and spiritual person.

        Religion can be spiritual and definitely started as such but there is nothing spiritual left in a modern nat-C
