“I think in a way that kind of cliche ‘spiritual but not religious,’ which apparently is a thing more and more people say to describe themselves, is in a way an attempt to reconcile in some cases with science. In other words…if I say I believe in this highly anthropomorphic God, if I’m religious and too old-fashioned in a sense, or buy into specific claims of revelation, that might not sit well with the modern scientific intelligence.”
—Robert Wright, author of The Evolution of God (February 2, 2010)
Is the illusion of the duality of human existence something that makes us spiritual but not religious? One of the strengths of Whitehead's Process Philosophy is the unity of reality. There is one reality and therefore we come to all things in relation, it is not an or but an and.
