Pope Francis backs peace efforts in Christmas Day message

I don't mean stupid, I mean they didn't know any better. No different than a kid if they believe you when you sell them Santa. It is gap filling. 

It isn't mere adult fantasy. There are effects on the brain which differentiate it from fantasy. You're simplifying what can't be simplified, solely for the sake of scoring a rhetorical point against theism. The brain is everything we are. If the mental soup is different because of the practice of faith, then the reality of it is different. And until you acknowledge the very real effects of religious practices on the brain, all your attempts to reason with a theist will be in vain.
