Have been reading up quite a lot on religion and atheism these few days and my conclusion (for now) is that religion is a merely a delusion that has existed since ancient times. And i feel that it only became so widespread because of the lack of explanations for phenomenons at that time and the lack of evidence to disprove religious concepts.
But the belief in religion is not entirely irrational. It provides many people with comfort, most psychological and it helps in social bonding. Then again, religious conflicts or crimes committed in the name of religion, so there is a good side and a bad side to it.
Okay, quite sleepy now, will quote a Nobel price winner:
Religion is an insult to human dignity. With or without it you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion. -Steven Weinberg
