Are you serious? You don't need "bizarre religious ideals" to understand it. This is an extremely easy to grasp and widely-used concept. You are lucky to be endowed with good genetic traits. Just as you would be lucky to win the lottery.

I don’t get how it’s lucky without a counterfactual. Could I have been endowed with different genetic traits and still been myself?
