I'm not religious but I believe in an afterlife. It makes sense to me because our bodies decompose but we are energy/a soul too, not just physical matter, and energy doesn't die. It moves elsewhere. It makes sense that we don't know everything yet and modern science isn't as perfect as science will ever get hence it can't find answers to or prove everything. Just think about everything that was considered supernatural before science was able to say it existed, like electricity for example. We can't see electricity but it's there and it works, of course that was supernatural at one point in time. It makes sense, because we can't see it. I've also had many strange happenings without logical explanations too many times to not believe in something.
I envy religious people sometimes myself, but for other reasons. There's a lot of flaws to religion though. I come closest probably to christianity in my personal values but i've never been able to actually follow christianity. Religion is a choice though, if you want to believe something you need to open your mind and talk to other people about what they believe, read some books and maybe even go to church or any other religious place you have in your close proximity. If you aren't happy in your atheism then maybe that is a sign that you do deep down believe in something, you just haven't figured out what.
Is it normal i envy religious people?
