> because I can see reality as it is

It might be best to think long and hard before saying something like that... we humans are not great at observing or recording unfiltered reality.

I'm in two minds about this.

1: Yeah, and fixing that is what science is for!

2: Oh, I'm quite aware that as a human I'm a big "bias machine", and I wrote that a bit tongue-in-cheek.

I think you are referring to our brains' inability and incapacity to perceive reality, right on. But recognizing a smaller illusion (religion) within the larger one (the reality) is still seeing part of reality as it is.
