Danikk34 karma

It has been reported that some coma patients retreat into a sort of fantasy world from which they could not wake up.
In this catatonic state, the patient lived in a world just like their normal one, except they were fully awake and in full control of their body. They are aware of the reason they are in hospital and think everything is under control again, that they are tended to and will be able to leave soon.
The only way that they realized they needed to wake up was a note or message or some kind of writing, in newspapers, in letters or in the internet, which they found in their fantasy world. It would tell them about their state, and tell them to wake up. Even then, it would often take months until they were ready to discard their fantasy world and please wake up.

I'm with you in this regard. Science requires the use of correct and unambiguous wordage. Coming from a scientist, this language is not proper. The use of religious to mean something else is at best disingenius and most likely used to attract attention in the first place.
