Everyone is a spiritual seeker, in their own way. And those who think they have all the answers are the most lost. Religion is an attempt to demystifying the mystery. It mostly fails though. Religion is more accurate in describing human nature than in describing God.

Religious beliefs can produce a mindset that is both empowering and destructive. It creates an unreasonableness in the believer’s mind. Being unreasonable can be valuable when it comes to getting through difficult challenges. But it tends to prevent the kind of dynamic and nuanced thinking needed to make wise decisions.
