Learning about crossovers helped convert me from atheist to a believer in God

In the end, it does not matter what any of us think.  Believe in what you believe and live your life accordingly.  Music is a big part of my life.  I am thankful for everything I have and I lean on a higher power to drive me to being a better person every day.  Science is not black and white and can be misleading.  

I dont believe and i dont need to believe in my nose nor in the Tao , the Tao as my nose had no smell of his own  ...😊

I apologize for the correction....

“We join spokes together in a wheel,
but it is the center hole
that makes the wagon move.

We shape clay into a pot,
but it is the emptiness inside
that holds whatever we want.

We hammer wood for a house,
but it is the inner space
that makes it livable.

We work with being,
but non-being is what we use.”

Never mind: What I was getting at is that personal beliefs are an insufficient base for meeting Kant‘s moral imperative and as such are incapable of forming the basis for general legislation, i.e. politics. And for the record: I do not concur with your assertion that there is no more border between private belief and generally accepted truth (lest we accept ‘alternative truths’

Moral imperatives are an EXTERIOR motives IMPOSED on the thinking process...

Moral free imagination of a free individual dont OBEY to an external law but create his own moral motives to act then way more powerfully toward truth ... I am not Kantian in moral matter because of this fact...

You completely misread my post...

I spoke about the suppression for the first time in european modern history of private life sphere and public life sphere...Internet suppress this CLEAR separating frontier that existed between these two in the past... 7 years old student transport the "political" problem of their school in their kitchen and in their dreams...

"generally accepted truths" or consensus are not identical with the public life sphere...

Anyway consensus are more programmed at will by corporations now in a short changing time span as it was by religions in the past but religions could not and would not change their consensus program`; corporations change it at will as they need and fast...Corporate powers may become more powerful than churchs of the past if we do not stop them ...

Brainwashing is more powerful than ever ...The good news is that we can became conscious more easily too with all the tools around us ...

Humanity divide then in two groups : sleepwalkers and spiritually awake people....

And for the record: I do not concur with your assertion that there is no more border between private belief and generally accepted truth (lest we accept ‘alternative truths’

At its most basic Kant stipulates that you shouldn’t do to others what you don’t want to be done to you: some exterior motive imposed on the thinking process!
 

And as to your postulated abolition of a private sphere: that is clearly each individual’s choice. Just the fact that some people are indiscriminate doesn’t warrant the abolition of one of the most fundamental human freedoms. Yes, there are corporations abusing the gullible, that however is a matter for regulation.
