Even if theism is a failure, it's still superior to atheism

I mean....not all of them do, just to get that out of the way.  The majority of people who don't,  by brute force of demographics, believe in a god.  Existential anxiety and despair are well represented in believing demographics.  

If you were dirt poor, would you keep going for god..or because you hoped to be not-poor at some point in the (hopefully) not too distant future?  About that, would praying to god put money in your pocket? The question is just ridiculous, and as your earlier comments leave people wondering if you've ever met a woman - these can only make us wonder whether you're a shut-in with no life goals, no responsibilities, and no contact with anyone whos ever had any.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
