Why is religion so repugnant to some people

[robvalue]

OK it seems some lesser gods would like to dispute my new definition of faith. It's almost as if me just saying it isn't enough to establish its instant truth.

So I'll try again. Faith is holding a belief for reasons not considered valid by robvalue.

Form a line please

(Good point though, zealotry is a better word, and which wouldn't cause misunderstanding. I would expect most theists to balk at being called that though, even though it is obviously a true description in many cases. We must respect each person's zealotry.)
