[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your premise puts people who believe in Qanon in the same boat as people like Moses Maimonides, Saint Augustine, Martin Luther, Rene Descartes, and Thomas Moore.

One if these groups is a bunch of morons, and the other consists of brilliant thinkers who have contributed significantly to our understanding of the world.

I believe in “religion,” and not Qanon for the same reason I believe in string theory and not flat-earth theories.  One of these things seems to me like it is getting close to the truth about the fundamental nature of the universe, even if it’s not completely understood, and the other is a bunch of YouTube videos and blog posts that don’t appear to be the truth about anything. Not even the small, self-focused thing they are talking about.  [/quote]

Plus it's comforting to believe in eternal life, despite there being no scientific basis for it.

Ahh...Thomas Moore, Saint Augustine, and Maimonides believe because it’s “comforting.”  The symbol for Christianity is literally the torture device that was used on Jesus and many of those who followed him.  It’s not comfortable.

Also, there are things that are true that do not have a scientific basis.  
If there aren’t, then what is the point if any philosophy, religious or not?  Furthermore, what is the point of any kind of values, morals, or ethics?  Why care about gender or racial equality?  Why grieve the dead?  If human beings are to be boiled down to our biology, then we are nothing more than ants following our biological impulses.
