I don't think we need a spiritual element in our life, rather a "knowledge", concept or other form of understanding of what our place in the world/universe is.

I don't think we need a spiritual element in our life, rather a "knowledge", concept or other form of understanding of what our place in the world/universe is. But even with that I can't speak for everyone. What is nice about churches are rituals. My need for rituals is satisfied with raves, awesome atmosphere with a lot of friendly, tolerant people who are just enjoying themselves and the music with everyone.
