[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How can people who understand basic science also believe that there is a god in heaven protecting them and that they will live there forever after they die here on earth?[/quote]Not all religions require a belief in a deity.  [/quote]

Unitarian Universalists, for instance.

Here we are discussing religions that have supernatural beliefs.[/quote] 
The question asked how can educated  people be religious.  Then the OP defined religious people as believing in the supernatural.  That is an incorrect definition. Not all religious people believe in a deity or supernatural presence.  UU is one of the smaller ones.  
[/quote] OP isn’t talking about UU. She’s referring to religions that have a belief in the supernatural.[/quote]

Look, some people believe that all that exists are things we humans can sense or test. Others believe that is a ridiculously human-centric opinion that a few minutes contemplating the nature of man will refute. Sensible, educated people can think beyond human senses.[/quote]

And some sensible, educated people make up God! A supreme being looking after us and granting us eternal life for those who
 believe in him.  Other sensible, educated people either never believe in such an entity or change their belief after thinking about how unlikely such an idea is.

People are different.[/quote]
