What's up with creationism?

And also the false comfort of a parental figure creating an environment just for them rather than an indifferent universe.  If there's one thing a lot of Christians thrive on, it's hubris wrapped in a thin coat of false humility.

...and there's nothing wrong with it. As far as I can tell religion is a form of therapy, prayer is a sort of therapy. It helps relieve tension and anxiety and makes someone feel good about themselves... is there something wrong with that?

The problem is that it's quite literally delusional. The only reason why it's considered okay/healthy is because religion still largely sits in a place that makes it taboo to criticize. Despite it being purely fantasy and nothing more than believing you're a chosen one with a super powerful invisible friend/abuser (believe in me or else.... do what I say or else). In any other context theists would be treated for their delusions, but because it's religion it's socially okay.

And the problem is that they're determined to have their delusion spread by trying to force it into schools. These aren't people you can just ignore because they've found illusory comfort in their lives. They're dangerous because they have a mandate from their invisible friend/abuser to make society dumber by subscribing to that delusion, too.

So, yeah, there are several problems with it. What an individual theist may believe may not affect you in a general sense, but it's invariably a symptom of a larger problem. And on issues like this they tend to act like a hive mind with statements like "I don't personally believe in ID, but I don't see the harm in having it taught in schools" because spreading the delusion is paramount to them. And these people vote and climb into positions of power solely to spread it.
