The problem is that when people oppose science and religion, they tend to forget that “Primary matter” is also a “religion”, and eventually they take a religion for granted without knowing.
You keep saying that, but it's just smearing your philosophical opponents. Just because Patricia Churchland or Daniel Dennett and Anil Seth think material processes can explain consciousness doesn't mean they think matter is primary, or even have the concept of primary matter. They are generally referring to matter like brains and computers which are many levels of composition above quarks, electrons, or strings. And every one of them would instantly reject the idea of worshiping matter or deriving moral precepts from the Standard Model. So "the problem" is in your imagination. You complain of fundamentalism; but you adopt a fundamentalism of computation.
