It is nice to have you here, Mihoda.
mihoda, the following video may be of interest to you. In it, Andy Thomson discusses how religion provides a strong, powerful means for connection and attachment, which are needs that the majority of people crave. Hence, religious belief is like craving fast food, which is an analogy that is significant to Thomson's presentation.
Thomson
I look forward to reading more of your contributions, sir. Take care.
