It is rational to believe in God and spirits and other religious claims.

In order to
define religious belief, we should start by defining religion in general. Religion is the
entire collection of beliefs, values, and practices that a group holds to be the true
and sacred. A group's religious beliefs explain where the people fit in relation to the
universe and how they should behave while here on Earth.
Every human civilization that we know about has had religious beliefs of some sort.
Most of this evidence comes in the form of burial inscriptions or
other artifacts found by archaeologists. Why is religion so important that every
society had one? Religious beliefs serve a social function in human groups,
providing a shared identity of where people came from and where they are likely
going after death. In an often chaotic world, full of seemingly inexplicable violence
and unforeseen disasters, religious beliefs can fill the gap and provide meaning and
comfort. Religious beliefs serve an undeniably important function in human
societies, both ancient and modern. Part of human identity is the basic need to
categorize the space around us and bestow meaning on unexplained natural events.
God is different to us all. What is one person's view of him (or her) is different from
every other person. Almost every religion contains the common elements of a
creation story, an end-of-world prophecy, and a code of ethical laws to live by.
God is a being that oversees everyone and everything. He is our creator. He is the
supreme being that controls our world/universe. This applies to every religion that
has a God. God is God. He/she might have slight differences, but essentially, all
Gods in each religion is just that: their God.
Additionally, psychologists explain that people have a tendency to see intelligent
design in the natural world. This is related to the concept of anthropomorphism,
which is when people give human characteristics to non-human creatures or land
features.

Rationality can only exist if the Supernatural exists

A. Rationality requires Free Will.
B. Free will can only exist in a universe where the supernatural exists.
C. Therefore, belief in rationality requires belief in the supernatural.

D. Religious beliefs by definition mean a belief in the supernatural.

E. Therefore religious beliefs have the possibility of being rational while strict
materialism does not.
Thus, having religious beliefs is more rational than not having religious beliefs.
Human Need to Explain Unknown Makes Sense
Humans have a rational need to explain their world. When science fails, religion
kicks in. Religion and spirituality are rational offshoots of the human nature to
question why things happen. Why does God allow violence to exist? How can we
explain near-death-experiences? Dreams are measured by brain scans. There is no
reason why God or spiritual experiences can't be measured either.
God's case is the same no one can prove His existence but no one can prove that he
is none too.
