Yes, we are hard wired. The childrens reactions should of revealed that to them. It's hard to resist the truth in us all. "Breaking the spell" sounds kind of evil. Labeling themselves as a "Darwinian" groups them as a religon I think. Interesting views though. I liked the studies.

RELIGIONS The entire Buddhist monk's life is but a preparation, For his Death point or moment of seperation. The Jains have santhara, Quitting life consciously to join with the paramatma. Hindus go into samadhi, Where there is no Congress,BJP,Shiv Sena or Samajwadi. The Christian merges with the holy spirit, Peace,no more desperate. The Sufi mystic to become one, Dances,twirls,prays,trances to get the job done. Aghora means Illumined with Light, Longing for Shiva in whom they delight. Shamanism or the Art of Ecstacy, The ultimate being one with the superentity, There is no need to change your faith, And on your old religion lay a wreath. "Ponder Awhile" by Mohit.K.Misra A collection of fifty one poems on various aspects of life,death and god. Ponder Awhile has been rated in th TOP 20 books by www.e-library.net and given the highest votes in poetry,spirituality and philosophy. http://e-library.net/top_rated.html www.mohitmisra.net Available on amazon http://www.amazon.com/Ponder-Awhile-M...

Good discussion of how we may be 'hard-wired' for certain behaviors - including belief in something larger than ourselves.
