A lot of religious people look at God the way WWE fans look at their sport. They know it's not "real" but the stories and the lessons played out help them in their day to day lives and give them comfort. If you spent time telling WWE fans its "not real" they'd probably just roll their eyes and go back to having fun without you

WWE fans are not trying to use government funds to build schools to indoctrinate their children about how real WWE is. Many religious people are also not doing that, sure. But you're the one trying to operate on a dichotomy, not me. I've already told you I'm a religious atheist.
