Even if you believe there is no shred of truth in religion, are you seriously contending that nobody has ever had benefit in their life from believing in religion? No alcoholics have even used religion to rehab? No bereaved people have ever been comforted by it? I thought sweeping soundbites like that were the preserve of theists!
I was talking specifically about science trumping religion within the realms of what constitutes as truth; which if you actually followed what I said was fairly obvious. You took it to mean something completely different to what I was actually talking about.

If you or other theists want to believe because it gives you a warm fuzzy feeling, go ahead, As long as you don't try to force them on others, have at it.
But the bottom line is, faith based belief is not another source for knowledge.
Simon Moon, put it into words better than I could.
