I don't understand where "immaterial" would come into play.
The concept of immateriality actually traces back to the problem of universals, realism versus nominalism, and the ontological status of things like essences, numbers, categories, and ideas. In my experience, people who call themselves "materialists" are at root nominalists.

The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
