Judging by previous posts, and confirmed by the comments here, most LessWrongers have a VERY negative view of religion. And I'm not saying that my religious friends are necessarily more or less sane, only that they're often happier and pleasanter to spend time with. (Depends on how you define 'sanity' though.)

Sure, but they have negative views on lots of things. Your religious friends are clearly insane by lesswrong standards, but aren't your nonreligious friends also insane?

Maybe.
