I totally agree. I believe humans are hardwired to need some "religious belief".
Since secularism combined with rationalism are the dominant philosophies in many places, people are now socially incentivized to construct elaborate rationalizations for their blind faith.
E.g. Belief in flat earth is blind faith. A flat earther in 1000 a.d. would construct an argument appealing to religion (Holy Book says earth is flat!). Flat earthers now conduct "expiriments" and calcuations to try to prove their point.
Thus getting people to understand that they are engaging in religious belief can be particularly difficult.
