everything can be explained through the language and explanatory power of empirical scientific experimentation. It is not, however, necessarily a lack of religion; given a definition of religion that includes searching for the truths of the universe, naturalism is eminently describable as such.

However there is debate as to what validity these resultant value systems have, and to what extent they are maladaptive and destructive.
