It's the most rational position even though it's not a choice. I've always wondered why some people would leave one religion for another (often less extreme) one, it dawned on me that they are simply seeking emotional comfort or a sense of purpose.

It's the people that completely deny reality in favor of their religion that i don't get, though it's probably something to do with cognitive dissonance (I've only started reading up on it now).
