Or are you not making a claim about reality, which you are saying that the religious are show a disconnect from? At the very minimum; you seem to be making some type of claim. Or baselessly calling people names with nothing backing it up.
Apparently your claiming a reality that I don't believe in, so yes, the believers/you have a disconnect with reality.
First definition that pops up:
Reality: the world or the state of things as they actually exist, as opposed to an idealistic or notional idea of them, the state or quality of having existence or substance.
Your belief is a notional idea. If you can provide concrete evidence of existence at this time (not a story, not a book, .....) I'll consider changing what I consider reality. Until then, I'll have my reality, you'll have something else.
I'm not calling names, I'm labeling.
Yes, so you are making a claim about reality, and saying that my beliefs don't match that. And I think that we can discuss those disagreements and the reasons behind them civilly. However it seems delusional to make claims, and then claim that you are not.
Edit: And you may note, that we live in the same reality. It is objective, and if you are making a claim about reality, then we can examine the reasons and evidence in regards to those claims. If you are still not making claims, then I'll just dismiss this as non-sense or unjustified speculation however.
