I don't know how long you have frequented forums like this or other atheist websites but we have come to realize that emotion is behind religious belief - not logic. Oh, a believer may use logic from time to time - when it favors their belief. Otherwise, the emotional filters come into play and the facts are screened out before they ever reach the logic sections of one's brain.
I'm not being snarky here; that is actually how it works. The way our brains are put together, there is no direct pathway for information to reach the logical processing center. Everything goes through an emotional filter so true objectivity is impossible. Sometimes it's a wonder to me that we're capable of science at all.

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
