The earth has a population of just over 7 billion. Around 84% of those people have a religion.

If I wanted to bend some one to my will, religion seems a decent tool to use.

Remember, should TSHTF, people will want to know they will be cared for (in that they can exist with others) today, tomorrow, next year and in x years. If people believe in some form of esotericism, life can be lost, but hope never will be.

Unless you want to exist on your own - and I mean, truly, on your own, with no others - then if some one has a faith, accept it, let them get on with it. You do not have to follow their beliefs, rituals and practices, just let them know that as long as they are peaceable, they are no threat to you.
