One thing that's really struck me in recent years is how much people struggle with unvarnished atheism. Like they'll abandon Christianity, become Atheist, and have strong critiques of the absurdity of religion which presumably apply across the board. And then some time later they'll backslide into paganism, Wicca, or some sort of vaguely mystical belief. I have two friends (though tbf one of them never really went so far as calling themselves atheist), and one of them is Wicca with all of the magic spells and tarot bull, while the other one is obsessed with aliens with what is clearly a quasi-religious intensity, following every sighting and joining groups on discord and rando forums (which I privately refer to as 'Bible Study or 'Madrasa':rollseyes:).

mankind struggles with the madness of reality
but also struggles with the specifics of a given religion and can probably poke holes in them or find a reason to disagree with what are fundamental aspects of a given specific religion

and thus, Man ends up descending into arbitrary forms of spiritualism

I personally feel religion is a type of feeling as innate as sensuality; one of those pre-logical things that simply grips people and leaves them with certain spiritual urges. This is the reason for things like sudden 'revelations' which lead people to convert or phenomena like 'religious ecstasy' where people are overwhelmed by spiritual feeling, or moments near death when people feel compelled to seek comfort in religion. I think that pure atheists are basically like those people who find it easy to abstain from sex. It's possible certainly, and makes certain people happy, but it's not for everyone, and many people will find some expression of religion eventually, with attempts to suppress it leading merely to strange pathologies.

The surface level reasoning for the existence of dualistic religion is its just a device rich people have used for generations to make regular civilians fear death and rules so you make them moar money
also richies are weirdos who pray to severed goat heads and hoard all the lolis to themselves because they think being selfish pricks makes them immortal and gives them super powers :xp:
