Absolutely. Reality doesn't change. When a persons body doesn't breathe or move anymore no ones relative view of reality is going to convince it to start breathing again or move specially after an hour or so. Go ahead and jump off a 40 story building and maybe from your relative view of reality will say you will fly or bounce off the concrete unharmed. It isn't going to happen.

Religious people believe they have the truth. What are they searching for?
I think lauraclay is getting at that everyone is searching for the truth and some people simply take their truth on faith because everything else takes to much effort. Religion is that faith and agnostics here have chosen something else. Is that about right?
