"Sacredness disperses with disbelief"

That is true. I also believe that it demonstrates the very need for 'sacred'. For instance, if the Cherokee believe all water to be sacred, they are teaching their children and their children's children that their life depends on water, and the quality of it. Those who disbelieve the sacredness of water are in danger of mistreating their supply. It's common sense. I'm not saying that we lose our common sense by throwing away the wonder and replacing it with cold science and fiscal value, but we may risk throwing away our senses of spiritual worth of ourselves, others and the Earth.
