It's a bit of a stretch (or at best a gross over-simplification) to exclusively group the concepts of religion/spirituality with love such that anyone who is not religious/spiritual must only care about "materialism". The rant is far too black & white, or us vs. them for my liking.

It's not 'Science v Religion' ... it's 'Materialism v Spirituality' - this is the fundamental Metaphysical debate of our era, really.

People don't like it if you tell them they can not feel love.

[alexasmyths]

Materialism would posit that not only can you not 'feel' love, but there is definitely no such thing as it in the first place.

Tell me were is 'love' among a bunch of completely random particles, bouncing through the Universe?

There isn't.

Ergo, while Materialism is an extremely useful tool for understanding much of the universe around us - we have to remember that this is all it is - a tool. Science is a Framework, not a Truth.
