Why, evolutionary psychology and the philosophy of mind, comparative history and some sociology offers a comprehensive explanation of the mental and social forces, so to speak, which makes religions possible. It is social phenomena of language-possessing species, if you wish, misinterpretation of the instincts, co-evolution and other causes and laws, to which humans are subjected, like any other species.

This is where I interject & mention this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opportunity_cost People don't want to feel like they wasted time & resources over something that doesn't exist. Religion can just be relegated to a construct for social activities. There's so many of them which sprung up independently. People should really ponder whether they have accounted some belief for interplanetary travel.

Which god? The argument you make could also be made for all people following all the religions aside from the one whose god actually exists. The religions can't all be right, if in fact even one is right.

So sheer quantity of believers doesn't work for making a point.
