true,but I’m talking non-religiously. Nearly every individual believes in some higher power. It’s in our human psyche — we NEED to believe in some higher power. If not God, then something else — like in Star Trek where they’ve replaced God with a devotion to the Federation and to technological progress (”Don’t be too proud of this technological terror you’ve constructed. The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force.”)...

I understand. And this need to believe is just an attempt to discover some meaning or value in the world. The ontological quest. And of course, as Ecclesiastes shows, there is no meaning or value in the world apart from the one true God.
