I used to hang out with self identified skeptics/atheists, because I thought that rational inquiry was the way to a happier, more mentally healthy society.

Except most of them were miserable and angry. Many were also self-destructive hedonists.

Now I don't mind so much hanging out with the woo woos, because they seem happier and more concerned with their health (even though they overcorrect and believe weird things about what is healthy).

I think there's this glitch in humans that causes them to thrive under self-imposed structure built from incredibly weird, unverifiable conclusions about how the universe works.
