I often equate it to advertising and its "social engineering" concept. Those people who are virtually immune to adverts and extreme Facebook posts are probably the same as those who are immune to religious ideology.

i can't help wondereing if all of them really do believe it themselves. i mean we all basicly have the same bits and pieces and needs. i really find it hard to believe that another of my species can believe something so much different too what i believe and that goes for more than just believing in a God.

A tricky one for me to answer because while I do not and have never believed in any god, I do believe in fairies.

Same here, for the most part.. Born once, Atheist. But someone’s watching..? Someone's calling every shot? Someone made all this - and everything we’ve discovered? Prove it.

To admit I couldn’t function within a world not run by an omnipotent if make-believe being would be to admit or confirm my insanity.. I don’t feel insane, thus why or how should or can I convince myself of such an insane concept?

So, if a normal person can figure this crap out ..why can’t everyone?

I agree with your words and I identify. As a one time believer this entire concept has escaped me today. It's hard to look back and give thoughts and feelings that back up my one time belief. The best I can say is that I thought my bible was "evidence" and so many think that way today as well. It took me years to break away and it was a gradual process. My study of the bible was part of this along with logic and a need of evidence.
