Unless you already believe or have a heavy investment any religion sounds pretty silly. People dont just wake up one day believing scientology, theyre groomed over years to accept increasingly silly things. People also dont believe christianity as a default, theres a whole host of culty mechanisms to get that planted in your mind.
i disagree. i think its entirely possible to not believe in any form of god, but still think that "well, if there WERE a god, this one would make kinda sense" but still reject the basic assumption of the existence of a god. certainly, some are more believable than others. you dont have to actually believe it to think that one sounds bat-shit insane, while the other is only mildly implausible. equating all religions/cults as equally silly/improbable is just dumb. some makes claims that are more outlandish than others. it doesnt require belief in one to recognize that.
