Nothing could be further from what I am saying.
Our morality and Religion must be based upon Human Science rooted in the
objective assessment of the observable, testable Universe.
Religion does not have to be superstitious. If this supernatural aspect can
be stripped from it it will become the most powerful uniting force Humanity
has ever seen.
We all know this deep down. How else can we explain the demise of the Theist
religions.
The more we know of science, the more we realise that these concepts of
supernatural religion no longer serve us. Unfortunately the reaction to that
is a negative one, we deny all Religion believing them to be the same lie we
have been fed for Millennia.
But we can have a Religion, indeed we must have it if we are to fufill our
individual and collective potentialities.
A new Religious Humanism is needed.
