However most religious followers and scientists would argue that it is neither. I say if it allows them to live better and more fulfilling lives than so be it. If this can be done without endangering others or infringing upon their rights than its not my place to deny them their beliefs.
Exactly! I'm atheist but KNOW that EVERYONE needs something to believe in whether it be themselves, someone else, or "something" believed to be there. As long as that helps them be a better person and live a happy life I'm all for it Besides, I'll find out exactly "What's Up" when it's my time .
Edit: ... hmm, Science + Religion = A good way to go through life if you combine the two with a good attitude & outlook on life .
