I think that some people turn to religion not because of true belief, but because they do not have the strenght to carry the burden of life. We see this all the time, when a loved one dies, an unreligous person turns to God to relieve suffering, not because he/she believes that God exists, but because that they know that they won't live with the pain without an excuse to live on. I suppose what I'm trying to say, and this is putting it badly, is religion a necessary evil?
