Theists, What Do You Get Out of Religion?

[Mudhammam]

Not a theist, but i personally feel more comfortable believing there's something permanent in the universe, something that will remember all of this when it's gone. It's really a comfort thing with religion as well I think. Which is perfectly fine in my opinion. Everyone has their ways of coping with their fears.

I think that's understandable but I might wonder how much longer our planet can sustain billions upon billions of people with their heads in the sand, or the clouds, disengaged with reality to whatever extent they're willing to dispose of time and ingenuity that could be spent working towards a better future for humanity, informing themselves with the skills for critical thinking, and not storing up for themselves illusory treasures in a world that passes away when they do.
