Nap: you mentioned you can choose to remain ignorant. That is true, you can make no effort to learn and therefor give your beliefs a chance to improve. But even then, you can try and learn and your beliefs might not change for whatever reason.

Is this nonsense over with then? Pretending to believe in religion makes you happy? Because I'm pretty sure the study did not cover people who were pretending.

If Randy really thinks we can suddenly choose to believe in any religion's wild claims, then he himself is choosing to believe; in other words just professing to believe.
