Re: 'Secret Ingredient' in Religion Makes People Happier

Humanity
That's pretty much all it is. And then for men like us, it's about finding decent women as well. And no one can honestly deny that the power of religion can keep people decent - women and men - albeit in different ways. The people who can sincerely believe in religion and follow the values (as opposed to just belieiving dogma) are the ones I admire. And religion can help people form communities as well...it's ability to make humans happy is unmatched by anything, not to mention it's time-tested. I'm past the point of being able to sincerely believe in religion, at least literally. The values that religion creates are the treasure - the stories are just ways to get the message across and such. Perhaps I can one day find a girl who is religious and practices the values who would also want to be with me. Because without finding a religious girl or non-feminized one who also follows values (like virginity before marriage) I think I haven't got a chance.
