Mankind are "spiritual" beings. How that spirituality is expressed depends on a lot of variables. That is the common thread.  Now we have a new religion called science that thinks it has the answers to everything. And look at the flipping mess we are in - and believe me it is set to get worse as we ditch the only morality system we had in preference for relativism.
