What about someone that has done things they now regret and are merely passing along sage advice to others that might be following the same path they took, like saying; "Don't do ______ because it will come back to bite you in the end."

They can be listened to (right?), but when you get around to it - the Theologians, Priests, Pastors, Preachers, etc. are saying the same thing. "Don't do ______." But since they believe in a "fairy tale" that makes everything else they say illegitimate...?

And how does having a different view on (what can only be) origins of life or the universe harm anyone? Thinking things came about from nothing with no cause or reason isn't any more ridiculous than an infinite eternal being making stuff just by speaking it into existence.

Try telling that to the person that has been set free from destructive/sinful lifestyle choices. They will tell it could only have been God that set them free, even after trying for many years.

Or, on the flip side of the coin (something I can attest to) the things having a religion can keep people from... and having the moral judgement or standards to not do things that could be the biggest mistake/s of their lives.

I don't know where you're getting that from.

But... Take ID. All things in nature or in the universe can really be appreciated when looked at as something like a work of art... A perfect work of art. & Eternity is a long time... It could allow for some time to get around and not only study things, but truly understand them. Yet, if there were nothing waiting for us beyond this life... that - I find depressing.
