To be honest, I'm not even sure what you were getting at. I just know that you stating that you felt sorry for me for being inclined to theistic thinking felt very condescending and unnecessary, and your explanation was too vague to effectively be clarifying.

Some people are genetically inclined to need ritual and lack of doubt in order to stay out of depression and anxiety.

I find this unfortunate.

Being that I understand the natural world / objective universe as nothing more than a non intelligent memetic process / mechanism I see no reason to raise it godhood and worship it.

IMO there can only be personal gods known as one's Higher Self

There is a large difference between what I call "Personal Gods" and "Natural Gods".

A personal god is one with attributes given to it by humans and a natural god is worshipping a part of the natural world without giving it attributes.

Therefore if you worship nature, your god exist though I find there is little reason to worship it. (Though Einstein appeared to do so according to his notes).

I hope that those predisposed towards religion will one day embrace Natural Gods rather than Personal Gods.

What do you think on this subject and why?

Cubic Science can be associated with faith in "Natural Gods"; however, cubicians like myself prefer to call it faith in wordless reality.

It's not that water is 1 H and 2 O, for that answer is born of word input. Rather, it's wordless water.
