By people realizing they don't need the construct of organized religion to be spiritual for example.
How do you go about doing that?
Mostly happens by itself when people get better education. I personally don't do anything in particular about it, since it's not like the most important thing in my life and I happen to already live in rather secular country were organized religions are shrinking.
It's not about spirituality though- or feeling good. It's about following the truth and the life after this one.
If that's what you choose to believe, all power to you. If you are gonna try to force your believe down others people throats, that don't be surprised they don't like it.
Define "forcing down throats"
Basically expecting or forcing others to adhere to your believe system. You are a rather good example.
When did I do that?
Our whole discussion on abortion?
Not related to my religious beliefs. If I was a non Christian, I'd probably be more militantly pro life if anything as there wouldn't be any concept of heaven
Yeah, sure.
