And because the religious Metaphysical Ideal exists of a separate dimension, the human individual is to conform and imitate the ideal, and human living existence becomes material for a future state in another dimension.
Because the authority for Monotheism and Religion is extra or other-dimensional, rational reasoning concerning evidence and facts, grounds and substantiation concerning certain subjects is impossible because only unsubstantiated authority is allowed called
Authority Reasoning. God or the Bible is the authority and there is no reasoning against it and is why they separated Religion from Government. And where they haven't is religious fascism exampling Israel and Saudi Arabia. Authority rules but applies to all Progressive Cultures called
MonoCulture, wherein in the Authority is the progressed elite as those with the most talent, education, wealth and property, power
and potential.
Religion is said to be Materialist and Progressive. The human individual being of material composition is considered as possessing little or no inherent
Consequence, which must be earned through conformity to religious ideals. True Consequence is considered by Religion as Metaphysical Ideals that are in opposition to nature which has no inherent worth except for material resource. Metaphysical Ideals must exist on a non-material plane representing perfection, and pureness. The soul is said to be developed by the individual progressively conforming to perfected ideals.
Perhaps an interesting proposition is what is termed the
Religious Paradox. This paradox is that Religion based on the abstract, non-physical, state of mind, is materialist, and Spirituality based on physical empirical reality is non-materialist. Materialist Religion based entirely on non-physical, abstract and separate reality, needs to represent itself in concrete terms as Metaphysical Ideals and Extra Mundane Authority being a means of
authenticity. It is materialist because it can only be represented by material means.
