To be religious nowadays is to believe you are some sort of wise wizard who is part of a cult that is especially unique among humans in knowing the ultimate truth about the world we live in. It sounds like a belief in magic more than anything else.
Actually, it sounds more like a bunch of people who feel so insecure about themselves and afraid of the world they live in, that they derive comfort from fantasies. You know, when I was a kid and read Harry Potter for the first time I was partly hoping I would get mail from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry on my 11th birthday, even though I knew I hadn't been shown to have any particular magical abilities so far.
It's a laughable state to fool yourself like this and it's about time you heard it put it like this, those of you that do. It does you far more harm than you could do anyone else- unless you're a violent or politically involved fundamentalist, that is.
We all fear death. We would all love for life to have some sort of ultimate meaning and for us to be able to feel protected and assured that we'll exist someday in a Utopia of sorts, but that's not very likely unless we do something about it ourselves instead of sitting on our asses, praying to imaginary entities and hoping for the best until we die.
