If indeed there is no One Great Truth out there to serve as the basis for a future worldwide common human religious consciousness, and indeed there is no One True Morality out there either... there may be a number of subjective truths. In which case, surely one can be happy to see the three thousands or so NRMs, the thousand or so New Age groups, and the hundreds of sects of the various major faiths that are all flourishing, teeming, in Western countries today. If their beliefs work out well for them, then their beliefs are true for them; and since there is no independent Truth out there, and all of us are entirely free to build our worlds in the ways that seem best to us, we have no basis for calling other people's worlds irrational. Let a hundred flowers bloom!
