    I’m confused what you’re saying science would say is useless. Having meaning? Cuz that’s well supported in psychology. There are many ways to develop meaning in our lives. Science is just a method that helps us figure out what is effective. Spirituality can be effective in helping to form meaning, sure, but people need alternatives if or when it fails.

      Science would say spirituality is useless, even ridiculous, because it cant find evidence for a soul.

      Science can probably measure how our brains respond to spirituality though, and say that its useful because our brains respond to it in a positive way.
