If that is so, Brother Arlen, then likely people believe in something that collective consciousness theory doesn't say. And of course, that is a problem. But people can only believe according to their own "best lights." Many misunderstand the import of relativity theory; many more will probably misconstrue QM. Genuine understanding is key. And to "understand" means to "stand under" -- truth.
Which is why, as some Enlightenment wag (I forget who just now) put it, "If God did not exist, it would be necessary to create Him."
And put better I humbly hope: since people exist for God, they will find one.
