Definition “Religion”: identity-anchoring, axiom-based assumption-river, which usually disallows falsification.
Fundamentalist anti-theism is every bit as “religious” as any other religion, even though it orients around absence-of-deity instead of deity.
The Physicalist/Materialist assumption-river/religion which prohibits that mind is real, is every bit as identity-anchoring AND every bit as rejecting-of-falsification as any other religion.
Were Physicalism/Materialism true then mind would only be effect, never cause of the behavior-of-matter.
So, engineered airliners wouldn’t exist.
The fact that they do exist, and are produced by intentional-mentation being expressed by matter … is powerless to falsify Physicalism/Materialism simply because Physicalism/Materialism’ is axiom-based, & doesn’t allow falsification.
Therefore it’s a religion.
Hofstadter’s “Godel Escher Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid” was about ideologies, prejudices, religions, & formal-systems. The 2nd edition of it explained that it wasn’t only about formal-systems, in the new Preface, because nobody ( Western ) had gotten that implication.
All of those, ideologies, prejudices, religions, & formal-systems, … ignore evidence that isn’t obeying their view.
Empiricism, which is outside-centered, seems to be the only religion/method worth holding-to.
& that means that all spiritual-religions which are empiricism-rooted, also have some chance of being valid.
But without outside-centrism, the biblical Greek “eklegos”, then it’s an “already-lost war”: self-centrism isn’t capable of knowing universe, only its own assumptions/beliefs.
That is consistently demonstrated by humankind’s history.
Self-consistency-of-view vs completeness-in-knowing-Universe: 2 mutually-exclusive paradigms.
The God that people believe in, in the Bibble, clearly contradicts himself repeatedly. You can straight up write him off through deduction, at which point, you realize you don’t even know what the fuck you are believing in, so might as well not, or might as well believe whatever random thing you want.
Might as well believe in a supreme being, but you don’t have holy rules telling you how to behave, so you either have to assume it’s evil, or it does not exist, because a good spreme being would never leave you to suffer for your sins, and commit immorality through no failt of theirs.
