A belief in God is functionally different from a belief in, say, evolutionary theory. The former actually implements God on the brain of the faithful, as a piece of software with a well-defined spec and write access to the mental universe generator, so miracles may happen.

How's that different from the belief in mathematical axioms?

God is generated from a bunch of axioms that make him functionally the idea that the cell should have about its parent organism. God can have access to your reward function and even your perceptual content.

Our perception can be heavily influenced by the belief in boolean logic. Science good. Faith bad. You see the paradox?

Some people use a true/false algebra, others a right/wrong algebra...

Others see a superposition and believe that a lot of questions are fundamentally undecidable. Took me a very long time to notice how heavily science is influenced by religion.

You may get to the point where you understand the nature of undecidability, too. It has nothing to do with religion.
