I would still say I'm anti-religious though, since I believe that we ought to believe things that are true, and I believe religion is false.

@PhilosophyExp I'd say we shouldn't, though we might by our very nature end up doing so. I guess that applies to religion too.
@NotungSchwert So, for example, if the consequence was a (large) decrease in happiness/satisfaction, still an imperative to believe?

@PhilosophyExp I don't know - I'm always biased towards wanting to know what's true but I don't have a great argument for that. -
@PhilosophyExp I guess I'd eat whatever pill it is in the Matrix (can't remember - only seen it once) that gives you the truth. -
@PhilosophyExp And sorry to bring up the Matrix in a philosophy discussion - I promise I won't do it again! ;)
