re: #27 iceweasel

You are totally right locker. I’ve read that people whose wellbeing depends on chance factors (e.g. fishermen, farmers etc) are much more prone to religious beliefs than people who have more of a sense of control over their own destiny.

Soldiers, children, most of the world’s women. Just about everybody, then. Which is why religion is near-universal in the cultural inventory and it’s not going away. Best we learn to optimize it.
