I'm going to blindly guess that you are unable to corroborate that contention.

@ekename,
I said I believe it, which is based on personal observation. I have not made a study.

@edgarblythe,
I am spiritual and have read about buddhism, gnostic religion, jainism or veganism, antinatalism and radical (lesbian) feminism. I support anticapitalism too. I think middle-class and elite should die tbh, they use lower-class people and I am not born to follow their system imo. I don't want to be there slaughtered pig.

I think some atheists are as psychopathic as religious and rightwing people, not few rightwingers or liberals are atheists. At the end the class and how someone looks, if s/he has disabilities and so on, this is important then. If you have a normal or pretty looking middle- or elite-class human in front of you, they always look down. They are more towards religion or are so narc that they believe they are god, at the end, they travel alot, make children, have fun in life until they are dead.

I don't think reading is your thing.

QED.

Btw, I don't think you're remotely spiritual, just a nasty hate-filled pustule.

So well said, I have to preserve it here:

"The life of a mythology derives from the vitality of its symbols as metaphors delivering, not simply the idea, but a sense of actual participation in a realization of transcendence, infinity, and abundance ... Indeed, the first and most essential service of a mythology is this one, of opening the mind and heart to the utter wonder of all being. And the second service, then is cosmological: of representing the universe and the whole spectacle of nature, both as known to the mind and as beheld by the eye, as an epiphany of such kind that when lightning flashes, or a setting sun ignites the sky, or a deer is seen standing alerted, the exclamation 'Ah!' may be uttered as a recognition of divinity."
