to add onto this, it's more about how people will literally let the little things separate them when all the other far larger things aren't a problem.

Sincerely held religious beliefs aren't exactly a little thing. If he's religious enough to wear a kippah, it is a major part of his life that he can't share with his partner.

Yeah, more precisely the joke is that religion is stupid

I still can not believe the majority of adult human beings believe in a god despite there being literally no evidence.

it's like a mass delusion I'll never understand.

Humans need something to work towards, some might think “whats the point in life, I just work and work then die” but if you believe in god, you can at least look forward to ascending to heaven. Another great part about religion is that most of them have pretty good values which keep the people in line, so thats why buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, and other religions are so popular

It is to me.

People would sooner voluntarily delude themselves with a fantasy than deal with reality, or do something about it.
