Fptp is hard to remove because of religion

One of the problems with religion is that it makes the fptp voting system hard to get rid of. The reason for this is that religious people are able to look at terrible things (such as the fptp voting system) and reconcile them with their world view. They have no incentive to change terrible things because those things do not necessarily 'stand out' to the religious person. Suffering is not a contradiction to a religious person they can be aware of something terrible and feel no strong compulsion to do anything about it because it is just part of God's plan and there is nothing to be done about it. An atheist will be aware of something wrong with the world and want to change it which is why atheists are more likely to object to the first-past-the-post voting system. If there is something wrong in the world an atheist will ask if anything can be done to improve it... unlike a religious person.
