Just feel like putting my own two cents in on the matter...
I personally think that religion is more of an safety hold, I suppose one could say. Not many people are able to cope with a thought that there may be absolutely nothing after life, that their life's struggles, goals, and accomplishments are for nothing.

For all I know it may be a conspiracy thought up by some primitive government to help enforce laws. 'If you behave nicely, you'll get a cookie' sort of thing.

Eh.. been laying in bed all day, mind isn't up to a whole lot...
