It seems to me that their personal views on religion have, no matter what we care to say helped them in their lives.
I'm not saying that if they didn't hold religious beliefs they wouldn't have been able to cope but as we can never know that in any meaningful sense, the point is moot.
Napoleon, obviously it's not my place to tell you how to think or anything of that nature. I would say that you being 'sickened' by someone else’s beliefs and attribute what is to them in all likelihood, a sincerely held belief to 'brainwashing' seems a little unfair. You can hardly judge people in such strong terms simply because they don't think like you, or as you would like them too.
I'm not trying to have a go at you or anything of the sort, just making an observation.
