Frankly, this all smacks a bit too much of a superiority complex, coupled with percieved persecution, to me.
The notion that there are natural born multiples won't change the world, or overthrow religion. Society will adapt as much as it has to while keeping its norms and traditions intact as much as it can. It's the way society works.
The Singleton seeks relief in religion, in alcohol, in fruitless activities that are harmful to him or her and cannot escape the grim realities of this world
You are aware of just how arrogant and demeaning this sounds, are you? Also, the seeking relief from this world in (insert unhealthy coping mechansim here) is just as true for multiples.
And the world is already far more complex than religious fundamentalists can stomach. But those people have the amazing ability to just shut their eyes to reality, and pretend that their fantasyland is how things should be.
