I think it's nice if a person has a belief that helps them make sense of the universe
but it should be an individual thing. Any group belief is eventually going to end up creating fundamentalists, and they're the main reason that religion is 'fucking shit'.
Them and the corrupt kiddy fiddlers.
AltAlt: I got sent a link to a good job vacancy last night. Someone, somewhere, doesn't think I'm *completely* unemployable.

But it doesn't help them make sense of the universe
it just makes them think they have made sense of it. Hence my main problem with it. It slows down the advancement of mankind

But if your own personal rationalisation of the 'reason' or 'purpose' behind our existence (even if that reason is 'random chaos') makes you feel better
where's the harm?
If we only had people concerned with scientific advancement, we'd have no great art.

The harm is when people spend hundreds of years purposely slowing the progression of man
because God wouldn't approve
