I liked this article and its thesis, that everything in life has costs, but choosing to do nothing also has costs.

I do have a problem with the second half of the article, the implication that religion is a good thing because it's prosocial. In my mind, this view conflicts with the divinity of the Torah. I am not religious in order to "[...] secure the existence of our people and a future for [Jewish] children". I am religious because I believe that Abraham moved from Iraq to Israel, and Hashem gave the Torah to Moshe on Mt. Sinai, where he described in painstaking detail how He wants me to live, and I want to fulfill his will always, whether prosocial, or genociding the Amalekites.
