Psychics, astrology, tarot cards - all these mystical non-sense are signs of a weak mind. Whenever such garbage starts grabbing hold of you, seek the help of a physician or therapist.

Beliefs are personal, but universal truths are above that. For example, the surface temperature of the sun is around 5,505 degrees Celsius – the speed of light is around 300,000 kilometers per second – the Earth is about 4.5 billion years old – modern day chimps are the closest cousins of us humans. These are irrefutable universal truth, regardless of what anyone believes.

Religion has no work in justifying the man-made imaginations, hallucinations and delusions of the world. Real religion has to do with reality - empirical one - philosophical one - humane one.

Quote
If you pick up a stone on the beach and put it in your pocket, and the very next day something good happens to you, you may start having the belief that that stone is lucky for you. So, you hold on to it as a lucky charm. Now this is completely acceptable self-preservation mechanism, but when fraudsters start selling such stones to the meek and vulnerable, that is not only unacceptable, but downright criminal.

Rationalism is imperative in the pursuit of truth, whereas the pursuit of a harmonious global progress demands a human to be simply human first, not a scientist, a philosopher, a preacher, or a politician. Be a human, then everything else.
