Reality does not have to be more than natural especially if the evolution of the natural world leads to Godhood

Religion, politics, art, and even science have lived in varying degrees of intellectual servitude to ideologies that see reality as more than natural, usually beginning with ignorance or the denial of the biological origin of social behavior. Nothing exists outside of the natural world, even real Godhood is arrived at through natural material evolution.

Human identity is knowing who you are and what human nature is. Self, family, kin, ethnic group, city, region, nation, world, those are the legs of human identity. Human nature as empirically explained by sociobiology remains basically kin-centered, gender defined, age-graded, heterosexual, marriage-making, hierarchical, ethnocentric, even xenophobic, and religious-making, among other things, with group-selection as the primary unit of successful selection, followed by individual selection. “Biology is the hardware, culture is the software.”

An individual's ethical values can be ordered in a hierarchy of natural inherited behavior from self to family to kin to ethnic group to city to region to nation to world. A man's inherited ethical loyalty to his own group naturally exceeds that to members of "mankind" generally. Given our overcrowded and fiercely competitive world, and given the real biological origin of our social behavior, we all would be better off politicking for ethnostates and an ethnopluralism of ethnostates. How much healthier and happy people would be if they could celebrate who they really are in their own ethnostate, protected from marauding imperialists and supremacists with some form of limited federalism.

As Cattell said, evolution moves inevitably in a pattern, even though it has its random elements, and the pattern has a discernible direction, in spite of instances of stagnation and retreat, toward higher and higher more effective living forms, all the way to Godhood.  Reality does not have to be more than natural especially if the evolution of the natural world leads to Godhood.
