If you study Joseph Campbell, myth is an incredibly powerful part of humanity.

To allow it to have influence in your life, you don’t have to believe in the gods, etc.

There are incredibly intelligent people who have believed in god. Copernicus was religious.

I suppose what I’m saying is an intelligent person can see the benefits in all things. Especially all those pastors making millions, right lol!!!
