Most reasonable people have decided that everyone gets to have an unsubstantiated belief system that goes into the "Religion" slot and it's not a big deal as long as no one makes it a Big Deal. Reasonable people have decided this because trying to proactively eliminate it is way harder and god-awful than just letting it ride (once again, as long as no one makes it a Big Deal).
I love this explanation because it sounds silly, but it's also exactly how it works.
This was the best fucking ELI5 of religion I've ever read. Bravo.
Reads like Douglas Adams
Too bad the entire thing with religions is that they think it's a Big Deal.
