Nothing special. Just looking to find my way around here. I’m a non-observing agnostic. (Yeah, that was a joke.)
I’m not a member of any religion or spiritual group but the question of what role god belief may have played in becoming as we are is of interest to me. Most of what you hear from the secular side is glibly dismissive. My suspicion is that religious experience did play an important role in our becoming as we are now and that it may still be of great value for some. However I think that value can be tapped without religion, though not by rational analysis.
