So is a faith or religious based case to people who don’t believe.

Agreed. In fact, that's only one (and not the most important) of the many reasons why we try to evangelize. Life in a nation is incredibly easier on everyone if they all share the same worldview. If that worldview is consistent with reality, then so much the better.

Oberon: “If that worldview is consistent with reality, then so much the better.”

Definitely. A community could pass a law saying the earth is flat or homosexual sex is equal to heterosexual sex, but neither is objectively true. Eventually, the natural order asserts itself.

It’s like playing with fire. Sticking an unprotected hand in an open flame is always harmful. You could wrap your hand in protective gear, but if that gear ever fails, you’ll get burned. The fire still exists throughout. It didn’t go away simply because you had protective gear on. The fire is the reality.

Spiritually speaking, it’s so much easier to simply not stick your hand in the fire in the first place, but that’s not how humans typically operate or learn.
