That's sort of the problem. Their religious beliefs do work..and yours don't - or so you claim. You may even arrive at precisely the same conclusions, but your beliefs will be insufficient, defective, or impoverished with respect to their own - all for no added utility even beyond any metric of rational utility.
This is why I don't understand contentions to religious irrationality or arationality in principle. You gain nothing, sound like an idiot..and it's not even a genuine claim. We know you think that your beliefs make sense. You even ask about sense when you deny sense, above. My opinion, people retreat into that position not because they don't perceive their beliefs as rational, and not even because they haven't tried to insist as much - but because they realize that they have failed. It's a personal failure. Someone else could sell your beliefs to these heathens...just, not you. Soneone else could demonstrate their rational basis. Just not you. Someone else's beliefs are competent - just not yours.
Others can explicate what you wrongly insist to be irrational or arational. It's just you.
