But it's not about that for many people. For many people, being religious is more about finding strength and peace in that kind of guided spirituality
False peace through a false god
Believe is a powerful thing I would ague even if what you belief is wrong if that belief brings you peace it is not a false peace.
The same thing can be said about most conspiracy theories. People want to believe in aliens because then we aren't alone and they feel more comfortable, for example. The biggest issue I have is it leads them to do things that are un-helpful for the rest of humanity.
But c'mon.... There ARE aliens. Just maybe not here necessarily. But somewhere, there are 100% aliens.
Probably true, but we all know what we're talking about here...

When you're so brainwashed you replace the word "oil" with "religion"
exactly. dont confuse genuine faith with religious grifters
And explaining what happens when you die. Which by its very definition nobody alive can know

From the outside, yes. We don't have anything information about the post-death experience.
Because there is no "experience" after death. You just start to rot.
And what scientific evidence has there ever been suggesting that this is the case? We can't even scientifically evaluate whether another living being has any conscious experience.
Hahaha no absolutely not
How come that you refuse this so confidently?
Here just a few works from that wide field:
None of those explain what happens when you die, are you mad? Wtf?
