      Some atheists complain that religion is all about subjectivity and intuition, but is it really?

      Maybe much modern religion is that way, but there's another dimension to religion of following hard rules & believing in capital-T Truth.

      I don't know why you rationalists are so averse to this. I'm not claiming religion is the truth, just that it's what followers believe.

      I know it is. I was that kind of believer. All rules & order & 1 truth.No fuzziness.Too many ppl doubt ppl believe like this

      Believers believe in their definition of capital-T-Truth but faith based belief is very integral to establishing that, esp in Christianity.

      So it's still about subjectivity and intuition imo because that's what faith is functionally.

      Difference is accepting a false premise as true - my teachers said so - & truth not being important to someone

          I think faith is embraced in both instances. It's just guided more in one by the authority.

          Different manifestations of believing things without evidence, yes, but I'm more interested in how ppl think

          Cool, I was more addressing the OP that complains about Atheists thinking religion is always about subjectivity and intuition I guess.

          But I think this was about ppl *being drawn to* subjectivity & intuition in religion or to other aspects.

          The illusion of truth. Rather than whether it actually is true which none of us think.

          Well this earlier thread is still in my mind too and I suspect it at least partially inspired this thread.https://twitter.com/christianjbdev/status/879695950859653120 …

          Faith based belief is about trusting one's mere intuition and transcendent experience to divine a deeper truth. It's functionally the same.

          Yeah, see. You're thinking functionally rather than psychologically. What it comes down to, not how ppl think.
