How to select which supernatural to believe?
RE: How to select which supernatural to believe?

I don't really follow. The United States is a fairly religious society and, at the same time, doesn't impose any religion nor persecutes atheists, it seems that basic facts about your own country invalidate your bold claim here.

The criteria you set for your personal satisfaction must be really low, then. And I am not sure why you think I'm committing a non sequitur, talk about cognitive impairment.  

In any case, I think you would literally change world history if the argument you take yourself to have, is sound.

Wishing that some religious claims were true isn't equivalent to being a theist. I am sure you said once that you believed in some sort of afterlife or didn't exclude its possibility, this gives you something in common with theists, at least.
