Probably. In my mind it's the chemical sensation of [science] happening in your head that you experience as spirituality. Durkheim's theory of religious formation is that at the core of religious feeling is a social moment of effervescence in which the individuals experience themselves as the social organism/imagine god into being. It's very outdated writing and almost sounds like mysticism but I think effervescence is a true description of a more materially explainable brain chemical reaction. People experience this sensation while experimenting with drugs and pushing emotional highs - like feeling extreme closeness with a loved one - and it makes sense to me that our brains are wired eusocially otherwise I wouldn't be invested in this commie shit. Kropotkin and mutual aid here. And so this feeling of effervescence becomes a feeling of largeness, connectedness that people describe as religious feeling. First chapter of civilization and its discontents by Freud speculates a bit on the psychology behind this feeling, ofc he says its daddy issues, which, maybe. And so in a modern industrial era, man is further atomized and alienated away from his fellow man and this eusocial effervescence and thus Nietzsche is right and god is dead. Also Durkheim's work on suicide in early industrial cities which inspired him to go do the research into religion. He'd argue that the current crisis of atomization, and the dearth of this spiritual connectedness, is at the heart of the epidemic of deaths of despair we're currently experiencing. calling my shot on a third great awakening to fill the power vacuum or maybe the rebirth of micro-cults if things really start collapsing fast
