What Skeptics & Atheists Say

Skeptics believe religion to be a coping mechanism for human beings – a mechanism of self-comfort and a way to make themselves feel like their life has a higher purpose. While they aren’t necessarily anti-religious, they’re skeptical of one religion being valued over another. Not only do skeptics question the authority of religion, they doubt many of the claims people make regarding the religious practices they follow.

Atheists view religion as an evolutionary adaptation that’s made people vulnerable to whatever belief system they choose. They insist that religious practices are without reason and unsupported by scientific fact. Because atheists reject the existence of God or any form of a higher power, they claim that most religions are based on superstition. Some even believe religiosity is man’s attempt to make sense of why humans exist in the first place.  From <https://real-life.carefreechurch.com/answers/why-different-religions/?gclid=Cj0KCQiAuqKqBhDxARIsAFZELmLPBiDJWP20LwR6r4kTLk_Ntc2vR_LZcjgS9e4zXT0sutLRUyA5rKYaAtLSEALw_wcB>
