Machiavelli has another lesson that is relevant to the religious debate. He says;
"Men are obligated as much by what they have given as by what they have received".
In the context of religious debate, we could take this to mean "the more you sacrifice for a belief, the more wedded to that belief you become."
There are people who have spent their whole lives believing in god. They have given so much of their life to a myth that they simply cannot afford to question that myth.

I must not be nasty. I must not be nasty. I must not be nasty. I must not be nasty. I must not be nasty. I must not be nasty. I must not be nasty. I must not be nasty.
