Neurons drive consciousness for sure, but there is no neuron for sight or hearing, rather there are networks of them that create the sensations of sight and hearing.
Also, on a fundamental physical level there has to be a physical process that allows this all to happen, otherwise you’re saying that neurons have this weird special place in reality.
If there’s a fundamental process driving consciousness then what I’ve said is true.

This is blatant anthropocentrism. There is no reason consciousness is special. Consciousness is just what happens when neurons congregate. It is just chemistry doing what chemistry does. You can argue theism is spritiually beneficial (which I would debate) – but that doesn't make it more true, or somehow make consciousness integral.
