Again, *some* religions. Abrahamic religions, by and large. But they do not represent religions.

And while I respect that you disagree, and while maybe teh issue is semantics, the fact that I know nothing about ACTUAL physics, yet believe the univers is 13.7 million years old, is based only on the fact that some TV shows told me so. Until I can do the math, it is a matter of trust/faith, and not a matter of "logically understanding the facts, and analyzing them" the way people who are "pro rationality" like to describe themselves.

But now we are back at the same point we always are. Do you make a decision first, then justify it with ration, or use ration to make your decisions. and i think you and I have never really agreed on this point, and science has (so far) little to offer, though we will prove one of us right sooner or later, cause we are just learning so much more about the mind each day.
