Is it normal to believe that religious people know religion is false

I feel like religious people know there is no heaven or hell. They realize that god does not show them "signs" of how to live a true and happy life. They just chose to believe in all this stuff because well, it makes them feel better. Why believe in something you have to choose to believe in anyway? I believe I'm imagining everything. Even though I can't prove it, I can't disprove so I say it's true! > sarcasm.

I know, it's hard to accept the fact that all our emotions and feelings are just impulses of electricity, and chemical reactions happening in our brains. Our memories are just imprinted patterns of neurons that we chose to fire whenever we want to "remember" something again.

The hardest thing to realize of all is that when you die, There is no "you" anymore. There might still be some sort of consciousness after death. But by all means, there won't be anything human about it. You won't be you, you'll just be... If anything. The human ego is something we only get to experience once. There is no taking it along with you after you leave. We come in with nothing, we leave with nothing. There might be a grand scheme things involving our experiences on earth, but all in all, this life is the only time you'll ever be you.

is it normal to believe the truth?

    Faith is believing something you know ain't true.

    Marin Luther said : "Faith must trample underfoot all reason sense and understanding" It sounds negative when you put it like that but they don't call it a "leap of faith" or a "test of faith" for nothing, Itl never be something thatl be proven or disprove by science , its something way more complicated than our mind can comprehend

    I think your theories are normal, but I don't think its normal to believe that people are faking being religious. Not everyone thinks logically and open minded. I know people who think some weird things, for example dinosaurs never existed and their bones are a test of faith from God and Earth is 5000 years old. There will always be someone who will believe anything you can imagine no matter how delusional it may seem.

    I think a lot of religious people are religious because they're scared. They're scared at the thought of dying and not existing like everything else on this planet, so they make religion to make themselves feel special, to say that humans get to go to an afterlife. I believe in a God, I don't claim to know who or what it is, but I don't think humanity is special. If there is an afterlife and we have souls or some energy that carries on to that afterlife, it exists in all living creatures.

    Even if every single Christian believes it false it mostly teaches a good message. Dont cheat, don't steal, don't lie, and so on. Thats obvious stuff people should know but don't want to follow anyways. If people would just be decent maybe we would not have a book. We would not need the book full of laws down at the court house either. Yet people continue going against it and that's why its there. Should people rape NO! Are people going to yes. Should these people be punished YES. Should people be good people YES if not do they not deserve punishment YES. God delivers that punishment. See how that works? Its a law book telling people obvious things. People choose to be dicks. If people could just behave on there own we would not need a bloody book telling them whats what!

    I tend to believe that people who think rationally and logically always tend to believe people doing stupid things have to just fake their stupidity and then I realize: Wait... they just are fucking stupid!

    You have to accept the fact that there are stupid people out there far beyond your imagination^^
