Death of god or more precisely death of soul i refer to what is extreme materialism. The day and age we live now. I mean we live in such an age where even our emotions and thoughts are also not considered real.
Real in the sense of comparing with outside materials. In vedic school of thoughts, they were considered unreal in compared to consciousness/soul. But external materials were even more unreal. Won't say unreal but things that create maya i.e. incomplete truths. We have become so dumb that until we don't discover hormones, we won't believe there is something called emotion. Humans have forgotten that they have something called intuition. Even science relies on that. We first make a claim with our observation and intuition. A rigrous proof and nuances follow later on. Yeah, things can get wrong, but it's that intuition and observations only that guides us on first hand. Even our sense of laws, social justice and social values rely on those things, not on scientific proof. Because we cannot bring out democracy out of theoretical physics or even biology. Democracy is our political/social belief system and constitution details it, which we put our faith on. So is capitalism or communism are our economic belief system. Maybe based on some facts here and there. There may be a very complicated link between science and social values but it is not the way to go about living our lives.
If at all i have to go in total scientific mode, i believe it can be proved religion is embedded in our biology. So, i guess it is high time we start talking about discovering ourselves in totality, our believes and how they are shaped and how they drive us, not just materially.
