What would you think of someone who goes door to door trying to convince you a blubbery clown rules the universe from planet zebulon?

Is that a normal person just doing normal person things?

For the non-religious, there is no difference between the person above and a relgious believer.

I think it's reasonable to ask why people still hold unfounded beliefs with the greater interconnectedness of the world making it pretty plain that not all these religions can be divinely inspired truth, so many of them are necessarily imaginary.
