Mervyn, You know there is a fourth choice. Why keep up the pretense when you have lost faith? Be honest with yourself. Give up the whole charade. Liberate yourself. Live a reason and evidence-based life. Practice humanitarian ethics and rational morality. Imbibe spirituality from the products of human creativity such as music, art, poetry, literature, dance and science. But don't throw out the goodies. Celebrate all the religious festivals. Enjoy all the fun rituals. Expand your cafetaria to include other religions, because the only things that we know are real, for sure, are the food, the song and dance, the company and the fun. Cheers, Santosh
