” It is necessary that we are free, but freedom won`t help the person dying of cancer. The dying person must find something sufficient, but that does not involve freedom.

My point is that people at the grassroots level use these religious myths to frame the concerns of their lives. Even if you attack the people in a religion’s ivory tower, that is not really where these religions’ derive their power. If you get rid of one, another simply replaces it (i.e. Spiritualism).
My point here was that secular society as it is shows us all the requirements for ‘religious’ life. The Great Freedom Sutra:
