It's not hard to understand, it just doesn't follow. This is my brain, braining "better". See...it doesn't always pan out the way you expect. I'm contending the same with regards to religiosity and god belief. If our brains were "better" at braining..they would be even better at religiosity and god belief...they would not, as you hope...make us less religious, or make for fewer believers.
I'm trying to get you to admit you think you're special somehow. That I'm special. That us atheists in general are some sort of special breed of people that can see through the God delusion(pun intended) and religious folks are not.
That's what follows, given these two facts. We're both atheists. You believe people will always be religious.
