I'm not particularly religious but I probably should be.

For non-religious people let me point out something.

Elon Musk believes that there is only an infinitesimal chance that we are not living in a simulated universe. He believes this because he reasons that given how good our simulations are today, it is only a matter of time before we could simulate galaxies and universes.

And if you could simulate one, you can simulate many.

So if there is only one real universe, and many intelligent species who like to run simulations and games, then we would much more likely to end up in a simulated universe than the real one.

Now if you believe that the real universe doesn't have a God or Gods, keep in mind there is no reason that the simulations don't.

Think of how the world has gone haywire, like somebody is playing around with our reality. But even so, our world is our world, whether somebody is goofing around with it or not.

If I am in a simulation, that's fine. I can suffer and have independent thoughts. I assume other people and animals can suffer as well. So there is a good and evil in the world, even if it is a simulation. Things matter just is much, because our is our world, no matter if it is made from actual matter or simulated matter.
