The futility of religion

Was going through Bain's blog. Got me thinking..do we really need religion? What is religion? What does it achieve? Why, in this universe that is ephemeral, do we insist on believing in something that is defined (and vehemently defended) as being permanent, unchanging?

As you might have guessed..I'm an atheist. I don't believe in God, and I believe that religion does more to divide people that to unite them. Don't believe me? Just stop and think..most of the strife in human history has been over "My God is better than your God." Could I be wrong? In the words of ``Stone Cold" Steve Austin, "Oh hell yeah!". Do I think I'm wrong? Oh hell no! Yet, I'm open to ideas...
