The consolations of religion?

Unlike many people of atheistic or nontheistic bent, I don't deny that religious belief has real, measurable psychological benefits. And, some of those may — or may not — spill over into physical health, too.

Those benefits aren't for me, though. Intellectually, I certainly can't undo the path I've trod. And emotionally, the same afflictions of this life that drive many religious people closer into that psychology, with its benefits for them, are the afflictions of long years of life that led me to a decision that had elements of emotion at the time I made it and has become more strongly emotional since then.

Beyond that, as long as your religious belief doesn't infringe my civil liberties, or those of other people (especially as a class), believe what you want. And, if it offers you consolation, I won't try to argue that away from you.
