So, where does that leave those of us without the need to form a bond with a supernatural (meaning, outside of nature/reality) being? Non-human?
No, Bob. You, like me and many others, have simply formed meaningful attachments with someone else, like friends, lovers, and offspring etc. Perhaps you, like many people, feel secure enough as an adult not to need a deity as a "secure base". I'm not saying attachment necessarily expresses itself in religious faith, I'm just saying religious faith is one of the possible products of attachment.
