wtf?

What are the benefits of not being religious, versus being religious?

To judge by all the attention you're lavishing on this obvious troll, it seems to be succeeding brilliantly in making everyone jump through hoops.

I find atheists are very religious people actually, most of the ones that come online to talk shit are very zealous in their unbelief, likely the spawn of the vehement hatred spewn by Richard Dawkins, I was more inclined to Sagan's teachings though, which was to embrace life with a little humility.

What would be the reasons that an atheist would want to be religious, non-theistically?

You wouldn’t know humility if it crawled up your arse and died there.

There are nontheistic religions, or at least religions that don't require theism. I'm a lapsed Unitarian Universalist myself. I got the benefit of spending more time with my partner when I stopped attending.

Community, moral support.....that's it, I guess.
