philosophy is harder than religion  pol will never admit this, but relying on philosophy for life lessons and guidance is much harder than religion.  once you let go of sky man, you are on your own. you have to figure things out and find purpose all by yourself. the full responsibility and crushing weight of existence completely rests on just you. every mistake you make rests solely on yourself. there is devil to place blame on. the only thing you have to help are past words of wise men not deities.  it is pretty rare and a testament to a person's character to find meaning and purpose worth living for completely absent of religion.
