This makes a lot of sense, but I find just one problem. Even atheists have hope, fear, and comfort issues. Wouldn't we ALL like to believe that there is a better place waiting for us where our existence will never end, that evil will not go unpunished, and that someone is looking after us?

This might sound mean, but we all want these things so at some point doesn't it really come down to a predisposition for gullibility over rationality?
