I'm not religious personally but TGI Fridays is a very popular after-church spot (according to all of the religious/former religious people I asked). Why are none of them mad about this?

How could they actively support a restaurant so sinful it includes a sin in the title?

My habits don’t carry a threat from supernatural forces if someone else doesn’t follow them

Well why do you follow it, then? The reasons for that also apply to the reasons for superstitions.

You made a bad faith argument

I don’t understand how it is bad faith. Assuming something doesn’t have to be logical is no less unmoving than assuming it has to.

there is no way a human could comprehend anything beyond our universe, and pretending you can is just a lie

I agree. And I simply do not believe any of us can decide whether God exists or not, since that is also a comprehension. That doesn’t mean we can’t decide which comprehension we believe in more, just like we pick and choose the morals we prioritize.

pretending you can is just a lie, a hypocritical act

Finally, as I’ve said above, “lies” don’t have to be hypocritical.
