Firstly why should I believe in any religion at all?
The spirit realm may only be a figment of my imagination.
What proof is there of the supernatural?
See http://www.peace-of-mind.net for discussion on secular evidence for supernatural reality.

How do we wean ourselves away from religion? Well, we can’t. Not possible. Religion arises from the functioning of the mind itself.

What we need then, is a way for individuals to look at the functioning of their own mind, and apply correctives as needed. In other words, genetic engineering, and implants. It will take awhile.

The proof of God is in the believing.

To quote Hitchhiker\’s Guide to the Galaxy

The argument goes like this:
`I refuse to prove that I exist,\’ says God, `for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing.\’
`But,\’ says Man, `The Babel fish is a dead giveaway, isn\’t it? It could
not have evolved by chance. It proves you exist, and so therefore, by
your own arguments, you don\’t. QED.\’
`Oh dear,\’ says God, `I hadn\’t thought of that,\’ and promptly disappears in a puff of logic.
