I fully understand that the vast majority of people buy lottery tickets based on their expectation of winning fortunes on risking much smaller amounts.
Similarly, the advice of fortune tellers, clarivoiants and diviners and witchers is relied upon by seemingly sensible persons.
As for faith, it may well be an important calming influence for certain individuals, but it crosses the line to assume everyone must be converted. Galileo said something to the effect that humans were endowed with sense, reason and intellect and he didn't feel obliged with foregoing their use.
Apparently tolerance isn't found to a greater extent among "religious" persons. There is the possibility that tolerance is an important attribute that should be more a part of every person's life.
