Consistently applying the axioms of materialist reductionism - the belief in a world made of matter - is sufficient to induce functional psychopathy.

This is because: the world is made of matter => I am an ephemeral phenomenon => death is the end of me => the highest value is to avoid death at any cost => all other individuals whom I do not fully control are a potential threat which can lead to my death in the long run => I must fully control all other individuals.

This ends in functional psychopathy, even if the person is not disposed to it.

To maintain mental health, a belief in some type of spirituality is absolutely required. There is no workaround.
