Are the majority of the people in the world just irrational or insane?

many of them come from the perspective of being raised, since birth, in mindless brainwashing. many don't understand that.

How can anyone think that the unverse just popped out of nofhing. THe book I don't have enough faith to be an Atheist sums up the denial very well.
The Bible go the creation of the universe right 3000 years before science even acknowleged that the universe had a start and that was only after Hubble (they named the telescope after him) discovered the red shift)
"If I had no other data than the early chapters of Genesis, some of the Psalms and other passages of Scripture, I would have arrived at essentially the same picture of the origin of the universe, as is indicated by the scientific data." Nobel Prize-winning physicist Arno Penzias (Big Bang Theorist)
Even the old atheist spokesman Antony Flew has changed his song and said that the latest biological research "has shown, by the almost unbelievable complexity of the arrangements which are needed to produce (life), that intelligence must have been involved."
"The principle of [divine] purpose ... stares the biologist in the face wherever he looks ... . The probability for such an event as the origin of DNA molecules to have occurred by sheer chance is just too small to be seriously considered ... ."Ernst Boris Chain - Nobel Prize in medicine
So to me it looks like these quotes fit those that won't believe (and probably have never bothered looking at the evidence) as:
Atheists express their rage against God although in their view He does not exist. --C. S. Lewis
Atheism is a crutch for those who cannot bear the reality of God. -- Tom Stoppard

The alternerative is anarchy. You have to base things on something and if you accept the Scientific View that we are SERENDIPITY, then you can draw a conculsion that ANYTHING you do in the world is cool, because we're just an accident. We have no meaning or purpose other than to exist. So exist the way you want to and let everyone and everything else be damned!

The majority are irrational. Most people in the world are under 110 IQ. The lower you go on the IQ scale, the lower it is for that person to understand what rational thought is. That's why they put seemingly simple logic questions on IQ tests (& triple 9 society, mensa, etc).
They base their decisions on religion because they're not bright enough or rational enough to base them on reality.

Religion is about faith and that is something the atheist cannot understand. That faith should not be used to bother other people with I might add.

You believe what your parents taught you. You also believe because most of your culture believes in XYZ god and they can't all be wrong! Also, XYZ God will let you live forever in Super Happy Funland when ya die. Thats a lot of motivation to believe!
