People are different. Some people need God.
Seemingly so but perhaps, at least, someday they won't.
Transhumanism, if it happens, will hopefully deal with people's fear of death in a better way than just belief in bullshit.
In my view, false beliefs are never a long-term solution. I mean, they're not even a short-term solution really. They're a short term crutch.
