These days I find religion and naturalism in less and less conflict. After all, I believe in the Ubiquitous Cuttlefish and the Great Cosmic Squid. I mean, not really, but really. I don't need reality as a reason to devote everyday rituals to imaginary apotheosised personifications. Mollusca are awesome, and this is enough reason to have a religion—even one that covers an entire culture (cf. Shintoism, which loses very little when combined with naturalism).
And who doesn't want four cosmic hugs at all times?! From a mollusc!!
