People need a "common ground" of "spirituality". Even if you say "but not for me", I'm sure that (unless you're either an aspie or a psychopath :) ) you also get some sort of "mystical/spiritual understanding", probably from science and technology itself (like I do, and it took me years to understand that part of the "hard drug" that drives me to technology was actually a very "mystical" thing)... you can replace "mystical/spiritual" with "imagination/intuition of something more than self" if it's more atuned to the vocabulary of your mind. But this sort of thing satisfies a psychological need in a way that doesn't bring people together, while classical social religions, in their retarded and distorting way, actually bring people together. That's why I think there's an "untapped religious market" in the middle of these things :)
