Whether the irrational has a an evolutionary benefit or not, is moot, not enough time has elapsed yet to say this for sure.

Is this true? Enough time has passed for us to learn the evolutionary benefit of many other traits (standing on two feet, etc.). It seems to me that believing in religion/mysticism will be an evolutionary boost as long as more individuals believe in religion/mysticism than do not believe.

Yes enough time has passed to recognise the benefits of standing on two feet, but too little time has past to know so abour religion. The startof those two events are a ver long time apart. Religion has in fact existed for very little time. (I assume an abosolute maximum of 50,000 years).
