Religion succeeds because humans are only partly rational..it uses the part of us that isn't rational

Again stop assuming
I'm not assuming anything. You said you have a degree in theology. You went all the way through school to end up not believing in religion. To each his or her own, but I didn't have to go to school to come to the near the same conclusion.

But I do respect those that do believe in religion enough to let them have their beliefs without harassing them
Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.
