TheRocketSurgeon, I guess people wish for there to be a magical creator giving them hope for happy eternity. If you happen to believe in that kind of magic, then every gap can be filled with magic as well. It all runs down for wishing to be eternal. Science and specific religion doesn't matter here.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
We have one of those guys who is better than both atheists and theists. What are they called again?

I don't know, but at least he's found a way to feel superior to both. Which is nice.

If magic existed then it could be measured scientifically if a deity existed then it's presence would be able to be detected scientifically. Neither have been, so on current evidence I can confidently state there is neither magic nor gods. You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid. Tinkety Tonk and down with the Nazis.  RE: Idea

Im not a fanatic, if thats what you mean. I just wished to see how rational people tackle religions hopes and wishes.

Quote:"What im suggesting is that religion is disliked for preaching idealism/unbearable bitter stuff, BUT healthiest lifestyle." Ahhh, no. Religion is disliked because it is divisive, and the single cause for more deaths in human history than all other "clubs" put together. There is a some benefit to be gained from religion, but the net sum benefit to humanity is way in the negative. In other words, hundreds of millions of people have died for a sky fairy who doesn't exist...
No God, No fear.
