It's a bit of a stretch (or at best a gross over-simplification) to exclusively group the concepts of religion/spirituality with love such that anyone who is not religious/spiritual must only care about "materialism". The rant is far too black & white, or us vs. them for my liking.
Materialism would posit that not only can you not 'feel' love, but there is definitely no such thing as it in the first place.
Tell me were is 'love' among a bunch of completely random particles, bouncing through the Universe?
There isn't.
Ergo, while Materialism is an extremely useful tool for understanding much of the universe around us - we have to remember that this is all it is - a tool. Science is a Framework, not a Truth.
