davetansley, (edited ) to asklemmy in Why in the year 2024 and with all the knowledge humans have now do people still believe in religion?

Religion has certain self-reinforcing properties. Kind of like genes that make it more likely to propagate against other forms of information.

  • Believing without question is better than questioning
  • Not believing will be punished
  • Virtue will be rewarded
  • Spreading the belief is a virtue
  • You should obey your parents

Combine that with young human brains being malleable, and religion tends to continue against all odds.

davetansley, to asklemmy in hey - trying to switch from Chrome to Firefox, what are your recommended extensions and/or quality of life addins, etc?

If, like me, you do a lot of Chromecasting from your browser, you’ll want to install fx_cast. You need to do a bit of manual installation to get it running, but it works great when you do.
