Are some people truly better off believing?
#46
RE: Are some people truly better off believing?
The whole question is a math problem.  You have the favorable and unfavorable biological responses.  What results in more favorable than unfavorable tipping of the scales?

If religion leads to a happier life, super duper.  If ignorance leads to a happier life, super duper.  There is no hindsight.  You will never learn you were wrong.  So the idea of valuing knowledge and truth by themselves is just silly.
