There is no reason to think that materialism isn't enough and a myriad of reasons to think that it is.
Strong belief in that, but little actual proof, methinks.
What do you mean by proof?
How about enough scientific evidence that the chances of being wrong are negligible? Would that do?
Try drinking alcohol, or taking a paracetamol tablet when you have a headache, or drinking too much coffee, taking illegal drugs, or visiting a hospice where someone is suffering from a neurodegenerative disease.
Now to balance it out, tell me some way to demonstrate that who we are and how we think is a result of something immaterial. Make it reproducible and falsifiable so that you can convince others.
