You forgot to mention that religion happens to be a nifty social management tool in order to keep the population at bay. <br /> By inventing religion, governments are able to keep their population under control, while chiping away at freedoms. Witness the periods in time when religion was firmly in control of the government, it also stopped any progress and are considered "dark Ages". Agreed.

You can find it on http://www.orange-papers.org/orange-cult_q0.html#cq_guru_right . This is something I would recomend to every atheist to try out. Choose any religion and apply it to all 100 statements and see how well it scores! David,
