Re: Religion

I...don't know? I'm not atheist or agnostic. I'm Judeo-Christian Buddist and Buddists are insanely chill and non-dogmatic and actually recommend updating scriptures to reflect new ideas as living documents, rather than reverting back to them as an absolute truth. I'm not sure if generally-accepted notions of religiosity really apply. I don't really practice anything regularly and I don't really talk about it much, because I find discussing religion to be sort of pointless unless I'm discussing it as a social phenomenon, but I looooooove religious documents and art and music and all that.

As for why, because atheism doesn't quite make sense to me on an instinctive level, and agnosticism is kinda unsatisfying and feels like being in a limbo. Like, I'd rather pick a hypothesis that might be bogus than not pick a hypothesis at all. (Of course, that's just what it feels like to me personally.)

Granted, I'm sure all religions are more metaphor than anything and are all at least 50% bogus if not more, but that doesn't mean they're 100% bogus. I view them as being like the blind men with the elephant -- you know something's there, but you only have a tiny highly misleading piece of the truth and it might feel totally different than another persons' piece, and you could totally be extrapolating all wrong due to the fact that your lived experience and memory gives you biases.
