That habit is like what Sam Harris notes in his book The End of Faith: When US President George Bush addresses the National Prayer Breakfast, he might as well say: “Behind all of life and all history there is a dedication and a purpose, set by the hand of a just and faithful Zeus.” Regards Hi FlipC,

My current habit when reading the papers or watching the news is to substitute in a fake TV/film based religion for the real one and make up a corresponding Holy Day/ritual/whatever. Puts everything into perspective. Just stumbled over this entry, nice to see so many one and only true religions listed here.

Or maybe, we are just stupid. PS Maybe, this rush to believe in just about anything is a function of man’s survival instinct to minimize ambiguity. Or maybe, we are just stupid.
