"Normal" people are willing to lie to themselves for a basic sense of security and community, even if it means believing blatant bullshit. This isn't a dig at all religion, just the irrational tendencies in religious people, which is the exact reason people join cults and clearly bullshit pseudo-religious organizations, like that atheist church thing in England a decade back, pagans, most political parties, etc whoch corporations have now taken advatage of to make a profit at the expense of the cohesion and solvency of society. Erasmus was right on a lot of things especially in saying uneducated/irrational people are no better than animals.
