Yes.
It relieves them of the responsibility of "rightness" or "wrongness" by claiming some god has approved/disapproved some thought or action.
No thought required.

No. That's what the misinformed people tells but thats not at all true, they don't listen to us so they don't know. But I cant speak for anothers religion, so who knows. I am a Born Again Christian and thinking is included in our faith. Our God gave us free will to choose what we want or do what we wish as long as it's in accordance to His will.

Not all people, but there seem to be a lot of blind followers who go along with it just to be accepted into that social circle. Funny, though in High School, the bible belters were definitely not the "cool kids".

No. We have free will to accept "religion" or not to accept it. What happens to us one way or another after death is a consequence of the choices we make in life. God gave us the plan; we simply have to follow it to have a hope of Heaven.

Naturally, that's why there's so many religions, and so many followers. It's easier to go with the hive-mind, than to form individual thoughts.

Religion is good for morals but it also creates a rigid mindset. Our way or the highway!

Not at all. In fact if you're a true faithful and intelligent person it will lead you into a lot of serious thought.
