I don't know if that would count as religious. And I don't have any good reason to believe it's true, other than the absurdity of life. It's also of no consequence to what I perceive as reality, so I don't give it any serious thought.
I guess it's just the problem of hard solipsism.
I always figured if solipsism were true, then I'm some sort of masochist. I agree completely.
I reject your reality and substitute my own!
