When a 5 year old believes in Santa Claus, adults think "Well, isn't that cute? He's a child, so they don't know better"
When a 35 year old believes in Santa Claus, other adults think that person is insane.
The way you would view someone who was 35 and believes in Santa Claus is the way I view almost all religious people. If you believe in Religion, it's akin to idiocy. I don't want to be mean about it, but to be honest, I believe most people (who are religious) are just idiots who never grow up in their logic and thought processes.
By the basic logic that we live in a planet of 6-7 billion people and that there are a plethora of different religions and if you believe that YOU (no matter what religion you are) were lucky enough to be in the one and only "true" religion and you will be saved and everyone else won't, well, you're an idiot.
(Note : when I say "you" i don't mean you specifically, I mean in general anyone reading this).
