“ The reason we value the games of rationality and science over the games of religion and mythology is that the former games produce significantly more power.”

This is probably wrong. We know from the stats that power belong to those who show up. The religious are showing up from a demographic standpoint due to above-replacement-rate fertility. Rationality can’t choose when a child should exist with much confidence; the delay causes the slow degradation of the ‘rations’ institute.
