I know there are atheists, but this is how I see the question:
It would seem that animals are the only ones without any sense of the transcendant.
People get passionate over art, politics, economic models, philosophical ideas, we hold beliefs for the future and we get impassioned with ideas and we seem to have a very deep need to have a sense of purpose in our lives which transcends rationality. Whether or not we express this purpose in metaphysical terms or not, it would seem to me that a person without any sense of meaning beyond the material world would be a brute.
So is it possible? Can one truly be without religion?
