Religion gives people hope and faith, if someone is religious they are so because they believe in an afterlife. We all doubt if what we preach is fact/truth, an atheist doesn't believe in an afterlife and that you just die, well what if there is an afterlife? according to all religious texts every nonbeliever will be damned unless they convert, so IF there is an afterlife I suggest you stick to a religion. TRUE there are no facts to support any religion, but there are no facts that can dispute it either, to be honest I could care less about people who I have nothing to do with whatsoever, you do you.
