There is still room for “some personal spiritual thing” in our private lives.
What there isn’t room for is the idea that someone who hears voices in their head might really be talking to God, or an angel, or a space alien.
There is no secret source of truth inside us. No voice of god telling us what to do or not to do. I meet far too many people who have this unfounded faith in some random idea that popped into their head. It is imperative for our species continued survival that such people learn how to think critically.
