Well, that's the thing. If you are so immersed in science that you do not contemplate the immaterial, I think you start to develop a "spirituality" or perhaps philosophy that excludes the immaterial (supernatural, spiritual, paranormal, or whatever). And then when a person with such a radical materialist philosophy confronts the immaterial, there is a large amount of cognitive dissonance which needs to be worked through for personal growth (whether acceptance of the immaterial or stronger faith in the radical materialist philosophy).
