I don't see how any of this disagrees with anything I have said.

Nor me...

We are agreed then.

Let's go down the pub and forget it all

If we consider most people to be religious and I think the stats would support this, so real for most people is philosophy, on a background of science that they don't understand. 

Certainly most people are religious to one degree or another...by name anyway [even me by name that is] I have an hypothesis as to why that is....Convention...his parents were catholic, muslim or whatever...his parents parents were the same...ad infinitum. What do you think?

I think we tend to believe/trust what our village teaches us, especially when it's done with kindness; there's no reason to doubt.

That can be used to teach hate as easily as it can to teach love.

The problem's with teaching hate is, karma; the scientific term is, causation.

Science doesn't differentiate, but it does undermine, when pointing out discrepancies in two book's written thousands of year's apart that have been artificially shoehorned together; it's like shoehorning ptolemy and Einstein into one book and then saying "there you go, it's obviously all bollox."
