First question - Why not take a position? Because I simply don't have one as it is not currently a relevant concern to my life right now.
Second statement - Delusion over what is real in the sense of a belief is irrelevant. A belief doesn't imply knowledge. I find it interesting that most astronomers believe that there is intelligent life on other planets and once you mention the possibility that we might be the only intelligent life forms in the universe they manifest an almost religious position against that possibility.
Third statement - It wasn't my point to mention that they couldn't make a difference so much as they might need inspiration to make a difference.
Fourth statement - Beliefs being justified. It doesn't stand to reason that a belief would have any jurisdiction for some justification. A belief of hypothesis is usually the precondition before a universal truth is uncovered.
Fifth statement - How does one's motivation for life have any less effect if the conditions surrounding that motivation are based on illusion? You seem to believe that action cannot exist without the justification of that action. When a gun is pointed at your head and you say don't shoot because you wish to tell the shooter that his motivations are based on an illusion you won't accomplished much, you might possibly buy a little time before the trigger is pulled but you might be insane to try to out reason a person's belief.
Sixth statement. Israel is a very technologically savvy country with a very strong religious core.
