Chime in as you please, I also agree with your standpoint. People can believe in whatever they want (as long as it's not harming anyone), while I might not respect their ideology I'll acknowledge that this how they think.
Also, science has come a long way. I mean man once looked up in the stares and wondered why and how it existed, it was somewhat rational to form deities to fill in the blanks seeing as there wasn't much counter argument. Now in our modern era we know what's out there and how it came to be.
All in all, through critical thinking we should be able to assess truth based on evidence, reason, and logic, because believing in something that doesn't exist is just gonna keep our brains from liberation and expansion. As the saying goes, "Ritual is what happens when we run out of rational."
