I understand what you mean by "we are animals," and that religion is essentially a way to 'ensure our survival,' or something on those lines, and the fact that we possess the capability to rationalize things allows us to try and make judgments about the world among other things. You and you alone choose your beliefs. It is your choice, so just because conventional wisdom tells you something, it does not mean it is true for you. We could get into a whole philosophical debate here, "What is truth?" but I feel that to do this, we would have to start a whole new thread. Welcome to the forums.
