Is it better to be happy or right?
If you think belief in God leads to a more fulfilling life but have some logical doubts about various claims made by all religions, would you choose skepticism or faith? I have been told that many of the most famous skeptics in history were miserable, while I see blissful and ignorant people all day long. Not that I know they are wrong about their god, but that I know they have never really questioned the beliefs handed down to them.
If you don’t believe in religion, all you have is this life. Why would you choose something that you gives you less of a sense of meaning and hope?
