Otherwise, believing in deities is just a form of stupidity.
But it's not (and it took me a long time to finally accept that.) Stupidity can't be treated or overcome. But people abandon their faith all the damn time, much more like recovery or treatment of a mental illness or psychotic episode. It makes them say and do absolutely fucking stupid things but they can always look back in retrospect and agree that it was stupid and would never do it again.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?
