If you're not concerned whether it's true or not, then that's just fine. No problems from me.
If only it could be dismissed so easily. Unfortunately the prime concern is truth. And it has demonstrable effect on our health and well being... understanding it and acknowledging it. It's quite important, which is why it's always been a central component to our lives. Why are you atheist? Because it's affected you.
