Why did so many people waste their lives for religion?

Yeah

I remember them saying on the atheist experience also that when someone's brain gets messed with enough so that it accepts an irrational idea like religion, that it makes it more likely that person will also accept other irrational ideas and be less able to distinguish between real and imaginary things. It's like they've stepped over the boundary between reality and fantasy. This is particularly worrying when you consider children. I think they said this has been shown by proper studies.
