Having lost my father in 1985 and my mother this last month, I think I can speak to this question. Is what they believed in important? Yes. Is it important that everything they believed in be scientifically proved? NO.
For me and for most people for thousands of years on earth what is important is that they loved us, took care of us, fed us, clothed us, kept us warm when it was snowing outside, laughed with us, told us stories, traveled with us, taught us to be good citizens, good friends, good children, good adults, reinforced us at any age and gave us good counsel at any age.
What is important was not what they believed but that they loved and cared for us so we could then grow up and be good people and to teach our children and grandchildren to be good people too.
No matter the religion for 100,000 years or more this is what has always been important. All the rest is fluff compared to them loving us and keeping us alive into adulthood.
We live because of our parents. We are good people because of our parents training. We have good lives because of our parents. We owe them and all our ancestors everything. May each of us be as good a parent to future generations yet unborn as as our parents and ancestors were to us.
To the best of my ability I write about my experience of the Universe Past, Present and Future
