What is the Point of Believing in God Without Religion?

RE: What is the Point of Believing in God Without Religion?
I think the point is to have the best of both worlds.  They get to have the fantasy that they're going to live forever and they get to do that without the cost of time, money and effort involved with organized religion.  Christianity is all about the denial of one's base desires, especially sexual desires.  Organized religion takes money to keep going.  That has to come from followers.  And joining an organized religion is a commitment of, at the very least, time and money.  That's a lot of trouble to go through.  And you have someone else telling you what's right and wrong, making you feel bad for making yourself feel good.

Essentially they want the fantasy offered by religion without the work of attaining it required by religion.  Since it's all a fantasy anyway, what's the harm in cutting out the part where some priest touches your naughty bits and takes your money?
Have you ever noticed all the drug commercials on TV lately?  Why is it the side effects never include penile enlargement or super powers?
Side effects may include super powers or enlarged penis which may become permanent with continued use.  Stop taking Killatol immediately and consult your doctor if you experience penis enlargement of more than 3 inches, laser vision, superhuman strength, invulnerability, the ability to explode heads with your mind or time travel.  Killatoll is not for everyone, especially those who already have convertibles or vehicles of ridiculous size to supplement penis size.
