Water usage is probably my biggest. Living in a high desert, my wife and MIL see no problem with filling one side of the sink with hot soapy water to wash a few dishes because “that’s just how I’ve always done it”, to watering the grass and plants for hours. All of this makes me mental.

I bet you cannot even define religion.

"Existential belief/claim in delusion with no evidence or basis in reality; A tool for the rich to exploit and sedate the masses." That's what I hope to change the definition to when people wake up. Obviously since definitions are descriptive and not prescriptive that isn't what it is now. "An organized supernatural belief in a god/gods in regard to the creation of the universe." Is what I would assume more fits how people use the word today. Even then I feel that excludes delusions such as Buddhism or individual 'spiritual' delusions.

Skip to your proselytizing, what delusion are you Pascal's wagering your life on?
