You bet. Religion not required to experience DQ.

You're right. The MOQ doesn't endorse any religion.

As usual, Chomsky doesn't know what he is talking about. Every belief
system contains an initial premise the system cannot verify or explain and
must be accepted on faith. Rational beliefs systems are no exception.
Chomsky needs to check Godel's Theorem. Furthermore, the rational
cause/effect system breaks down completely at the quantum level, not to
mention it's inability to answer, "What caused the Big Bang?" Chomsky and
all of his ilk would do well to read and ponder ZMM and Lila, especially
the latter which describes how intellectuals with their worship of
scientific rationalism have made a holy mess of things.
