It's obvious that religion is forever stuck in the past. It can never evolve, unlike science which is always evolving. Isn't it benefical as a species to figure out how the world and universe work? I believe that religion has run it's course, it's time for a "new" religion, called Science.
“In some respects, science has far surpassed religion in delivering awe. How is it that hardly any major religion has looked at science and concluded, “This is better than we thought! The Universe is much bigger than our prophets said, grander, more subtle, more elegant. God must be greater than we ever dreamed”? Instead they say, “No, no, no! My god is a little god and I want him to stay that way.” A religion, old or new, that stressed the magnificence of the Universe as revealed by modern science might be able to draw forth reserves of reverence and awe hardly tapped by conventional faiths. Sooner or later, such a religion will emerge.” Carl Sagan
