I'm the same. It always disappoints me when I find out that someone's religious in this day and age, especially when they seemed to be sensible and intelligent. True, the non-existence of a god cannot be proven, but neither can that of invisible unicorns. Intellectually, it makes no sense to believe in a god. Emotionally, well, I suppose some people need a crutch. It's no coincidence that countries with higher standards of living and education have lower levels of religiousness.
