<<Here is a list of large groups of people who don't believe in the
existence of
"spirit":
- Materialists
- Secular Humanists
- Ayn Rand followers (aka "Objectivists")
- Marxists
- Scientism followers (probably the largest group)
- Atheists
- People who work in the field of Mass Media :-) :-)>>
The problem is that there is no common language. Allowing for the
subjective experience of each person, most are saying the same thing in very
different languages, and no one understands each other. Heck, look at the
various Christian religions. Each thinks they are saying something
different from the other, and only one is right.
If you have eleven people from eleven different places who speak eleven
different languages, and you walk into the center of the group and ask for
information on how to get to the airport, it's going to sound like they are
telling you eleven things that differ from each other, if you listen without
the premise and knowledge that they are each speaking a different language.
In my experience, atheists are the most dedicated seekers of spirit.
