My apologies. I've once again failed in stating what I meant. I did not mean to ask if you looked at solely what a religion offered your soul, but what it offered you materially, in reality, in the current political system.
I've sorry I wasn't clear. If this is not clear I will try again, please let me know what you heard from my question and I will try again or affirm.

I must once again apologize for my ignorance. I do not know what a "remain" is. I must also assume that the "Absence of evidence" refers to a belief as in contrast to the opposite scenario and that was never my intention. My intention was rather a debate on the political, economical, social benefits of belief.
I'm deeply sorry that I've failed you. I will attempt to make amends to the my main query.
