religious people handle adversity better than atheists, and I think it's because of the functionality-returning gift of anesthesia. — Mongrel

You have a very small worldview. If you want to talk about medicine, three million people die from vaccine-preventable diseases each year, child mortality in the tens of millions from poverty and hunger. Then you have millions upon millions dying in the Middle East.

Counter that with the millions of people who are still delusional enough to believe that competing with one another on Instagram somehow equates to superiority and self-worth. #hedonism where the sane start to appear insane to the masses.

When you broaden your worldview, all you see are vicious idiots everywhere. It is not religion that is the problem. It is humanity. We are cancer.
