Well my post was about policy not worship; but I do think that, if we have spiritual minds (if our brains have systems that scaffold religiosity and spirituality), then in the absence of religion, that psychological void will be filled with other things such as science or politics. The way certain Trump supporters behave, for example, has comparisons to cult behavior. The same could be true for science: "'Science' in many minds is genuinely taking the place of a religion. Where this is so, the scientist treats the 'Laws of Nature' as objective facts to be revered" -William James.
