There is nothing wrong with being moral or nice, but you don't need religion for either. In a country that claims to be Christian the fact that Trump even exist says it all. Believing in the unbelievable is the bases of religion, and Trump. If you can believe in all the religious hocus pocus why not believe in a witch hunt?
The ability to simply tell yourself " I don't know" is the key to thinking. You don't know if there is a heaven, or a hell. Why delude yourself? Delusion is a major component of our society. People have spent billions thinking they will win the lottery. It is actually possible, but highly unlikely. Somebody does win so it is real. On the other hand no one has ever risen from the dead, walked on water, or turned water into wine. If you are fat maybe the delusion you are less fat works something good for you, but it does not change the scale.
Religion, and so many cults rely heavily on delusion. Con men thrive on delusion. Countries are destroyed by delusion. Dictators thrive on delusion.
You know what you know, and you don't know what you don't know. When you drop over dead you don't know what is next. Why not admit it. Nope, far better to make up some insane idea and believe it. That is comforting, but can lead to disaster. It leads to financial disaster, mental disaster, and national disaster. Think of the people murdered in the name of religion. Think of the wars over religion. Thing of the children robbed of their brains by Mormons, Catholic, and the rest of the gang. Grow up. If you want delusion go to the movies, but leave it there.
