People who have an unwavering belief in any religion are subhuman, barely worth interacting with. Akin to listening to the delusions from a psych patient
>>84545981I don't care if people believe in a religion as long as they don't take it too seriously. If they still function in a secular society it's whatever.
It is barely worth interacting with subhumans who have bad grammar; akin to reading the delusions of a psych patient.
It is delusional, but it is also better and more human.>>84545998>i don't care if people believe in religion as long as they don't actually believe it and it doesn't make them act differently in any way that matters
>>84545981>People who have an unwavering belief in any religion are subhumanYou have heard the term subhuman, but you don't have any awareness of what it would mean or where it comes from or why someone would say it. You should read more and talk less.

>>84545981>The disdain of psychopathology for spirituality led Andrew Sims to write a paper exploring the question of whether faith is a delusion from the standpoint of psychopathology. He concludes that it is not.[18]>Instead, he notes, a survey of 1200 studies and 400 reviews concludes: 'In the majority of studies, religious involvement is correlated with well-being, happiness and life satisfaction; hope and optimism; purpose and meaning in life; higher self-esteem; better adaptation to bereavement; greater social support and less loneliness; lower rates of depression and faster recovery from depression; lower rates of suicide and fewer positive attitudes towards suicide; less anxiety; less psychosis and fewer psychotic tendencies; lower rates of alcohol and drug use and abuse; less delinquency and criminal activity; greater marital stability and satisfaction.'[19]

Religious people are 25 percentage points more likely than secularists to donate money (91 percent to 66 percent) and 23 points more likely to volunteer time (67 percent to 44 percent). https://givingusa.org/just-released-giving-usa-special-report-on-giving-to-religion/ > People who are religiously affiliated are more likely to make a charitable donation of any kind, whether to a religious congregation or to another type of charitable organization. > Religiously affiliated households give as much or more to other types of charities as non-religiously affiliated households do. https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2019/01/31/religions-relationship-to-happiness-civic-engagement-and-health-around-the-world/ > People who are active in religious congregations tend to be happier and more civically engaged than either religiously unaffiliated adults or inactive members of religious groups, according to a new Pew Research Center analysis of survey data from the United States and more than two dozen other countries. > This analysis finds that in the U.S. and many other countries around the world, regular participation in a religious community clearly is linked with higher levels of happiness and civic engagement (specifically, voting in elections and joining community groups or other voluntary organizations).
>>84546791>as they don't actually believe it and it doesn't make them act differently in any way that mattersYes that is correct. As long as it's about as relevant as a personal hobby, it's whatever.

In terms of clinical characteristics, religiously unaffiliated subjects had more lifetime impulsivity, aggression, and past substance use disorder. https://researcherslinks.com/current-issues/The-Wager-Renewed-Believing-in-God-is-Good-for-You/9/5/42/html > The vast majority of studies report that religion has salubrious effects on health.

tl;dr religious people are superior to irreligious ""people"" in every way
>>84546887Now look at the actual countries where people are religious, easily refuted: >>84546886
>>84546877Then they don't believe and don't have any religion. You actually do care that people believe and you aren't ok with it, so don't couch it in cutesy conditionals to pretend otherwise.>>84546887Stop spamming.
>>84546902>irreligious retard doesn't understand causalityNot surprised.
>>84546904>spamming is when someone destroys my feefees with facts :(Why are irreligious cucks so mentally fragile?
>>84546909It's direct causality. Being religious darkens your skin and lowers your HDI. The more atheists a country has, the more developed it is. Religibrowns are disproportionately overrepresented among prison populations and underrepresented among scientists, engineers, academics, etc.
>>84546904I don't care about semantics. Being religious is like being black. If they act civilized, it's fine. If not, they're niggers.
>>84546924>Being religious darkens your skinIrreligious stupidity, everyone.
>>84546929you just switched to another semantical argument to analogize with this one bro, clearly you care since that's what you're concerning yourself with

>>84546983https://www.rcpsych.ac.uk/docs/default-source/members/sigs/spirituality-spsig/resources/is-faith-delusion-andrew-sims-editedx.pdf>It has been claimed that God is a delusion. I plan to examine that proposition from the standpoint of psychopathology. Delusion has now become a psychiatric word. Although in the past, the word delusion could refer to being fooled or cheated 1, in modern speech it always implies a suspicion of psychiatric illness. It has been appropriated by psychiatry and invariably implies a psychiatric diagnosis. If I am deluded, then I am necessarily mentally ill. In English law, delusion has been the cardinal feature of insanity for the last 200 years 2. It is a mitigating circumstance and can convey diminished responsibility. It is, therefore, within our professional competence as psychiatrists to say what is, and is not, delusion.>I started with the question, is faith delusion? I spent some time looking at precisely what delusion is in psychopathology and then measuring religious faith against it. I concluded that faith, of itself, is not and cannot be delusion, although people frequently have delusions that include religious and spiritual content. I covered briefly various other abnormal phenomenological states and found that, although those with religious belief may well experience them, faith was not causative. I also looked at the nature of personality to assess whether faith could be construed as a product of abnormal personality. Although variations of personality affect the manifestation and self-experience of belief, religious faith exists independent of personality. Finally, I examined the phenomenon of faith, observing its cognitive, affective and volitional aspects. This process has been carried out from the perspective of descriptive psychopathology.

First-hand accounts from multiile independent eyewitnesses, including 500 people, who have every reason NOT to lie (and get themselves persecuted, tortured, and killed for something they'd know to be false), plus the empty tomb, as the Jewish and Roman authorities admitted.All evidence points to the resurrection.
