> People want belonging and a sense of being part of something greater than themselves. Belief in the supernatural is not required to engender that feeling.

I agree, but feel like this is a not a bad thing most of the time (even though it can be), and I say this as an atheist in the traditional sense, with iconoclastic tendencies when provoked...

The problem, is the same faults of religious movements happen with these religions-without-the-supernatural, but as an atheist you don't have the same supernatural to mock as a defense.

You see faith based reasoning and very strong emotional reactions to things that are not real.

On second thought you are right, there is a lot of faith base nonsense going on, especially post-facebook.
