Every religion states that the other religions are lies, which means that, at the very least, the majority of religious people believe a lie as a fundamental aspect of their worldview.

Thus, you apparently can be genuinely happier if your worldview is based on a lie.

Still not worth it.

I don't think I've ever heard of a religion that is so airtight that it blocked any ability to reason on how the others might not be a lie also.

And I don't think I've ever heard of an inclusive religion besides paganism & voodoo.

“ Every religion states that the other religions are lies “

Almost no religions state this, it might be an interesting thought experiment to steel-man your arguments :)

Yeah, that's why they are constantly trying to kill each other...

That's a false dilemma, you are corroborating the actions of extremists with the entire concept of religion. This sounds more like Hitchen's kind of an argument, which is fine for entertainment purposes but it is reductive and prevents us from having interesting philosophical discussions regarding God and religion.

Philosophy has no practical value, except for contrarians who don't want to admit being wrong.

History does though & the history of religion is that extremists who are religiously exclusive are much more likely to affect someone else's life due to their zealotry.

That why there are so many wars & crimes linked to religious exclusion.

“Philosophy has no practical value”

This is a philosophical statement.

Believers are also encouraged to go their local cult leader instead of seeking professional help, so they are not included in these statistics.
