synchronicity has nothing to do with religion, and it doesnt work in the sense that you think of someone and they automatically think of you. its much deeper than that, and doesn't necessarily have to do with other people. Its our connection to all that is, all that ever was, and all that will be. To write it off as coincidence is akin to ignoring one's intuition. They are gifts from The Source and those who are able to channel it only do themselves a disservice ignoring it
