For Neil to mention that a perception "borders" on being "spiritual," is misleading.
To be spiritual, one has to be religious ... because if you believe that you have a spirit and a soul, that means you believe in an afterlife, which in turn means you believe in a god ... which is ... religion.
I do agree with Neil that we must read books that opens our mind to new ways of perceiving, so that we can understand each other. For instance, I am an Atheist, who is reading this book to try to understand how this person views life from his to her own personal experience.
From the book … God Doesn’t Make Mistakes: Confessions of a Transgender Christian … author … Laurie Suzanne Scott
I was compelled to write this book, because I could no longer just idly sit by and listen to Christians in total ignorance talk about how people who are transgender are out to destroy families, attack women and girls in bathrooms, pump children full of hormones and ruin society in general. Nor could I allow Christians who are transgender complain about “evangelical church” (referring to predominately conservative Christians) and how hateful and un-Christ-like it was. I am a conservative evangelical Christian who is transgender, so I am likewise hurt when I see a similar ignorance displayed toward churches and people with whom I identify.
