I've wanted to write a book called, "Teddy Bear, the Tooth Fairy, and Santa Claus Work." Because they made me feel better. The ritual, the emotion, the togetherness of make believe (for scared little children) are ... GOOD ... for you! Mommy said so!
This man fails to mention how the severe arrogant hubris of Abrahamic religion (Judaism, Catholicism, Christianity, Islam, Mormonism) fought against the inquiry and curiosity and discoveries of early scientists (sanctioned, imprisoned, tortured and even murdered them!) and delayed technological development of the world for a millennium!!
He fails to mention how, today, the most secular countries who employ advanced (irreligious) social and economic concepts far outperform the most religious countries on the UN Human Development Index.
No, in a postmodern world, science and technology (applied science) offer the most benefit to the most people.
It's a travesty against mankind that anti-science conservative belief in Abrahamic religion would cause selfish solipsistic religionists to refuse covid-19 vaccine and thereby endanger millions of small children and other human beings!
It's abhorrent to believe in a creed that relies on a little costumed man behind a curtain to "forgive" sin, or to pray to a celestial dictator in the sky, rather than taking action, or to make restitution to the aggrieved!
It's sad that small little children are subject to such gaslighting by adults to believe their very fiber, their very existence, is stained with some sort of onerous (heritable!!) sin, then forced to live a life in thrall, cowered by threat and fear.
It's elder abuse to scam the elderly (some sick and frail) by promising them an eternal afterlife of which there is zero evidence!
Sure it's nice to make believe, like Abrahamic religionists did in the childhood of Man. Many still do, live in a little bubble and feel better.
The make-believe world of Mr. Rogers(!). lol
Truth is hard.
