Check out the writings of Kauffman where he says things like as follows:
Quote:
God and a Global Ethic

God is the most powerful symbol we have created.

Of course it is! At least it was for me when I was a child and too young to question the meaning of things. Therefore, I agree that for child-like believers it can be a symbol packed with a hypnotic-kind of power.

Whenever unquestioning, devout and humble believers gather together--it matters not what religion we have in mind here--it is a fact that many fall into a hypnotic-kind of spell as soon as they hear music of worship, see the colours of stained glass windows, smell the incense, hear the ritual and the voice of God's representative intoning, "LET US WORSHIP GOD!"
