Doubt and faith

While many among us find it difficult to live without faith, there are many among us who are riddled by doubt. People with faith tend to be stronger because they are always in a group. Belief gets fortified if many believe.
Doubters can be strong but they are seldom happy or at peace.
I read about the last days of a o Hume about how he had a perfectly peaceful and happy end despite being a disbeliever all his life. I feel that was possible because though he didn’t believe in a god Hume believed in humanity he believed in his thoughts and these beliefs gave him peace. We are a in a difficult situation these days as belief in even these things are on shaky ground. Now the believers are having a laugh at the misery of the doubters, who are willing to believe in anything.
