I’m not apathetic about religious people because unfortunately they continue to occupy positions of authority in our society.
If religious people were actually dismissed in the way you describe I could understand your perspective. They are not mocked liked this though and are very much taken seriously.
I argue the opposite and I think the difference is that you believe religious belief can be demarcated in a persons mind where I think it influences all decision making.
I.e. Does my boss make decisions on P&L because they are good at business or because they prayed on it?
You and my boss might look at all the same information and arrive at the same conclusion except how can you be sure that the path my boss took reflects your own logic and not prayer?
If the information about your world passes through a filter to determine if it fits your world view or not it’s possible to serendipitously make the logical decision but it doesn’t mean fundamentally you accept the logic of the situation at hand.
If your foundational understanding of what constitutes possibility, I.e. that when Jesus died he was transported to north America for 3 days prior to being resurrected I have trouble believing this doesn’t influence your day to day decisions.
Stamp collecting is linked to conservatism and people who collect them are fascist, I know this because I’m a Trotsky socialist and my political ideology is flawless.
I left my wallet and phone next to the pizza (in a bag, they weren’t visible), if people were going to take the pizza it’s likely they’d take the actual valuable stuff first.
May also help to know the beach I was at was in the wealthiest sub in my city. Petty crime is pretty uncommon at any beach though. People leave valuables while they go swimming all the time.
