Hi John,

>> Perhaps you are right that I'm advocating the end of spirituality or the notion that we are more than just energy or quarks and electrons or atoms or molecules or cells or tissues or organs. > I'll be substantially satisfied if organized religion loses all respectability among the scientifically-literate. > We should talk about the spirituality thing independent of religion or God. I know at least some (maybe most?) atheists promote "spirituality" in your sense of the word.
