> Weird how me and hundreds of millions of people can do without it then.

Weird how you can't realize that the actual truth value of that perception is a function of the truth value of the accusation itself.

> I have no idea what you meant about clairvoyance.

The truth value of "You don't need to believe in God or in miracles to have any of that" (or, "me and hundreds of millions of people can do without it") is a function of the experiences of the individual human beings in the referenced set. You do not actually have access to that, so your mind whipped up a virtual proxy of reality to stand in for reality itself. In your culture, this supernatural practice is considered normal, so no one even bats an eye at it. In my experience, most people consider it ~crazy to not do this.
