Could it be that you hate religion, or the religious enough to where simply holding that belief makes one unfit for society or useless?
I think the point many people make, Tack, is that a lack of critical thinking in one area tends to lead to a lack in others - sometimes dangerously. But there are many good examples of people who believe bullshit and are otherwise perfectly sane beings capable of leading healthy, fulfilling lives. And there are others who don't. [shrugs]
