Religion Religious and supernatural beliefs rooted in evolution

Language is not infinitely flexible and words do have meaning. My dictionary defines religion as "belief in or worship of god or gods", so there are a lot of superstitions that are not religious in nature. My dictionary defines "rational" as "sensible, reasonable; reasoned out" or as "based on reasoning". If some people think it's reasonable to believe that the universe was created by an angry old bearded invisible man in the sky who's great enough to create billions of stars and small enough to care about the behaviour of individuals, I would like to point out that modern medicine can now cure such problems.

Ι'm atheist but you seem to have in mind certain religions.

Some people may believe in non-personal gods or even in non omnipotent gods,
or some may define gods as powerful beings that do not defy the 'laws of nature' or they may see nature as god.
