No! But I'd not say speak for yourself.

I like your paper, however that quote is false even if irony. Let me explain.

I make a distinction between faith and religion. Faith is kind of primal emotion that makes you get up in the morning and want to succeed. It is our animal side. Religion is the narrative we humans need to adhere to trigger faith. That's the difference between humans and other animals. The latter don't need narrative: they fight for survival.

So your quote is actually true, but only for the ones who have no faith--or lost it. The next step is how to get faith without narrative?
