Thesis: Realists[P] and Theists are Soul-Brothers in that both are fundamentally philosophical realists who believe in the absolute independence of reality.

One difference is non-theistic Philosophical Realists believe there are no absolutely independent moral facts or reality, therefore morality cannot be objective.
But this is wrong because absolute human independent of reality is an illusion.

1. You claim a thing [appearance] are absolutely independent of the thing-in-itself [that which appeared].
2. An apple [thing as appearance] is absolutely independent of the apple-in-itself
3. A human [thing as appearance] is absolutely independent of the human-in-itself.
4. The only human-in-itself is the soul that is independent and survives physical death.
You can deny all you want, but inherently you believed in the independent human-in-itself [1,3] which is called the independent 'soul' by many which survives physical death.
This is why the majority believes in a soul that goes to heaven or reincarnates.
You deny but you are ignorant you are in fact as believer of the human-in-itself aka soul.
In addition, you are also in the same brotherhood with theists in claiming an absolutely independent reality.
The difference is theist convert this absolutely independent reality as an dynamic entity with perfect agency, i.e. God.
Both you and theists are driven by the primal and primitive mode of thinking grounded on an evolutionary default of a necessary externalness, outerness and independence.
Realists[P] and Theists are Soul-Brothers.
