Well I was just kinda thinking of why religion was created and if it was effectively serving it's purpose. It kind of makes me wonder as I keep seeing people using religion as a way to justify their thoughts, actions, and biases. And so i'm asking the great people of CreateBlog.com so see what they think and if it is justifiable.

from an atheist point of view, i believe religion is a way to fill in the gaps that we dont know. Humans are afraid of uncertainty, and try to do anything to prevent it. Why do we die? not how but why? no one knows so we try to make answers that please us. Why do we live? "because god wanted us to" is the reason many religious give. We try to create answers that please us rather than face uncertainty. thats why many suiciders are atheist rather than religious. They would rather die than face the uncertainty of tomorrow.
