>All belief should be the product of reason.
You might believe that, but all the reasoning is against your belief.
> If it isn't, then that's not a legitimate belief and you have no right to hold it.
Check out pic rel and tell me with a straight face those irrational beliefs are all ((( legitimate ))).
>No one is entitled to belief
Irrational belief was the only thing early humans had until their brain cavities started increasing 2 million years ago.
Our brains and skulls have evolved in ways that strongly promote the ability to reason, however we can "suspend disbelief" to engage in brief flights of fantasy. We needed our imaginations to be able to hypothesize and plan ahead. We needed to be able to speculate on the movements of herds, etc. Irrational thinking has some utility for very short periods and our brains are well suited for it. However, we are not meant to suspend our disbelief for long periods of time. Living in delusions and daydreams in the stone age would have been the fastest path to Darwinian death.
Pretending irrational beliefs are real for extended periods have a profound and deleterious effect on your brain's chemistry. Holding mutually exclusive concepts without question or scrutiny creates a harmful cognitive dissonance. The long term strain of this deliberate dissonance damages your ability to think rationally.
It even causes insane beliebers to spout patently ridiculous nonsense like, "The universe was created by a magic sky daddy" and "Atheism is a religion", etc. Atheism is only the non-belief in made-up gods. Any other definition is falsified and a clear symptom of this brain damage.
