we're discussing that there's nothing convincing about it, not why people believe it.

Maybe not convincing for you and me, but for believers. As evidenced on this thread. And if the believers' beliefs make them happy and are convincing to them, there is no reason to do anything against them.

Whether it's convincing to believers is irrelevant. Can it be demonstrated to be true? The answer is no, and I don't know why you're going off on tangents about whether people are happy about it or not. It doesn't matter to the question being asked.

Can anybody provide any convincing demonstration that a god exists. Just admit that they haven't already.

Also there is plenty of reason to do something against them, and them being happy has nothing at all to do with it. I give you terrorism as an example. I give you a large portion of believers who don't accept basic scientific facts like evolution because they are happy in their delusion. Etc.

You can stop talking about how happy it makes them, because it 100% is irrelevant.
