"Moreover, the life-is-fair vs life-is-not-fair dichotomy is particularly damaging as it leads to atheism. Many choose not to believe in higher powers because the human-constructed religious-teachings regarding fairness do not hold water and people see well-intentioned and spiritual people suffering tragic circumstances that do not correspond to religious explanations.
In my story ...entitled, Why is it so Easy for People to Believe the Most Obvious Lies yet Require Proof of God?, I wrote:
'Religions have been designed to be believed and thus construct God as a deliverer of human wants if we do as we are told, which God is not. So people either blindly believe in God because the lie of what God is is believable, or reject God because the God defined by religions cannot co-exist with the reality that most people do not get what they want, or are not actually happy, and a world full of seemingly senseless tragedy and really bad things happening to good people.'
By trying to assign rationality to the irrational instead of teaching the value of acceptance, the major western religions have constructed an image of God that can only prove a disappointment to people. Thus, atheism exists because of the impossible teachings designed to create faith. I love that irony."
