There is plenty of evidence. You can pretty much selectively destroy parts or all of someone's consciousness by selectively destroying parts of the brain.

No need to apologize.  I understand how you feel after all... but from my perspective it is your theme which has become the tiresome one.

To be honest though, this whole conversation has proceeded much more civilly than I thought it might.

I think we are misunderstanding each other because of a difference in diction.
You can destroy their ability to cognate. To use logic and reason.
There is no part of the brain that has been shown to generate awareness.

So you cannot destroy just sentience by any form of brain damage.

Is my position really a common one in Western society?
I do not refute that religion can be destructive and in many ways limits our society from progression.
In my experience, most opponents to your position would argue for the benefits of religion; directly opposing your statements.

I am merely stating that while religion has largely become defunct and archaic; one's personal spirituality should not be disregarded simply by proxy.

Perhaps not in western culture at large, but certainly among my friends who are predominantly spiritualists, Wiccans and self-proclaimed druid priests.
