Religious types are hedonists.

Nancy Pelosi who professes to be astonished when asked about prayer

'don't mess with me...I pray for Trump every day' Issued without a scintilla of  Christian humility.

Religion with such types is portrayed as being as much of a science as Biology

or Chemistry.

But what of respect for the Pagan qualities of courage and benevolence

so the ones who strain after the after life 'Heaven' and other religious Utopias are essentially hedonists, ie not satisfied with this life they strain after another.
