Don't let anyone fool you. Ideas are not irrelevant. The most basic way that people think - the way they see themselves and the world around them - makes a walloping difference to their world and their behavior in it. For instance, plenty of people think of this as a "chance" world. Things happen randomly, with no necessity or sufficient reason, and certainly with no transcendent direction by a sovereign God. Even the regularities of nature "just happen" to be the way they are and could be different - perhaps will change in the future. Even our alleged evolutionary past is thought to be fortuitous, not guided by any purpose or aim. There is no inner connection that links all things in the world, links all events, and accounts for a causal order in our experience.
