If religious beliefs had any evidence going for them, we might have to respect them in spite of their concomitant unpleasantness. But there is no such evidence.

To do the same for disagreements about a delusional world inhabited by archangels, demons and imaginary friends is ludicrously tragic.

  • Religion restricts the play of choice and adaptation, since it imposes equally on everyone its own path to the acquisition of happiness and protection from suffering. Its technique consists in depressing the value of life and distorting the picture of the real world in a delusional manner - which presupposes an intimidation of the intelligence. At this price, by forcibly fixing them in a state of psychical infantilism and by drawing them into a mass-delusion, religion succeeds in sparing many people an individual neurosis. But hardly anything more.

  • Capitalism’s real “grave-diggers” may end up being its own delusional Cardinals, who have turned ideology into faith.

The two old tricks that dug it out of past crises-War and Shopping-simply will not work.

    Daniel Kahneman (2011). “Thinking, Fast and Slow”, p.299, Macmillan
