: not rational: such as
1 a (1) : not endowed with reason or understanding
(2) : lacking usual or normal mental clarity or coherence
b : not governed by or according to reason

Clearly definition 1b is how we use it to define religion. Religion is not based on logical (reason) explanation. It's based on faith. It is "unprovable," therefore irrational. There is no reason.

I know you don't want to admit that and there are some negative connotations to irrational, but objectively religion is irrational. And that poster is not saying religion is "crazy."
