My beliefs are informed by metaphysical naturalism. I am a Secular Humanist. Secular Humanism is a life sance and a way of thinking and living that aims to bring out the best in people so that all people can have the best in life. Secular humanists reject supernatural and authoritarian beliefs. They affirm that we must take responsibility for our own lives and the communities and world in which we live. Secular humanism emphasizes reason and scientific inquiry, individual freedom and responsibility, human values and compassion, and the need for tolerance and cooperation. __ http://www.secularhumanism.org/

Religion a figment of human imagination - human-evolution - 28 April 2008 - New Scientist

But Bloch argues that religion is only one manifestation of this unique ability to form bonds with non-existent or distant people or value-systems.

"Religious-like phenomena in general are an inseparable part of a key adaptation unique to modern humans, and this is the capacity to imagine other worlds, an adaptation that I argue is the very foundation of the sociality of modern human society."

""Once we realise this omnipresence of the imaginary in the everyday, nothing special is left to explain concerning religion," he says."
