I was once religious many years ago and then I woke up. There are many people that live this way. In fear of invisible supernatural beings and considering themselves superior to everyone else (god's chosen). It is an unfortunate way to live life. They often waste their life on frivolous things while expecting Earth version 2.0. Faith doesn't need reason.
