Re: Dear atheists: cure cancer or cure religion?
Ack, I think in my attempt at clever brevity, I missed something here. I can agree with your post, and revised criteria, only because you cut out the parenthetical in mine. The parenthetical, which accounted for other contributing factors to religious belief - such as, but not limited to: ignorance, irrationality, etc - helps account for the rest of the population of believers. That is not to discount the psychological component for them. It is likely a huge factor as well, but perhaps only one of many factors rather than an overriding one.
