We should find a common language with religious people, not alienate them. I find that many of them believe in the same kind of reality we do, we just can't see that because we're at each others' throats all of the time. I think religious people mean by God the same thing we mean by reality, really. So it's all just semantics. We should just add God in the dictionary as a synonym for universe or for reality if that will make them happy. And then we should all concentrate on solving death and illness and then on surviving the sun's going out and then on saving the universe from ending.
Then and only then you could say you don't live for nothing!
