Nope, it gives people a reason to hope for better times and it also helps them do the right thing.

As far as my experience and observation show, "The Human Race Is Not Fit For Any Kind Of Religion".
We will just distort everything that is good. This is the era of conflict and chaos, as stated by the Bible's, Hindu's and Buddhist's revelations.
Maybe we'll need to wait for few hundred more years before the human race start to become spiritual.
There's just tooooo much temptations in this period of Kali for anyone to be truly good or to have the honest initiatives to be good. We're all half good and half bad.

As an atheist I don't believe in any religion or supreme being but I think it's important to have religions and religious people-without god-fearing people crime rates would be a lot higher all over the world.At the same time religious people are killing each other because they believe in different gods and have different ideologies,so who knows?That's a tough one.

No I think religion rocks. It allows people to use their imagination and to think abstractly and without limitation. It's a vehicle for the truly free mind. It's only a stupid idea when people hate others for believing in a different mythology than their own.

Religion has got us to where we are now. You decide if that's a good or bad thing.
It was a useful social institution in some circumstances, bringing people together to create societies, culture, and civilization. It has also split people apart, causing vast amounts of suffering, death, and destruction.
We're at a point in history where we are either going to discard it, or be destroyed by it.

Most religions have very good intentions and teachings if the people would follow the teachings. So no it is not a stupid idea.

Me, yeah...well...I believe religion is around just to explain things man does not know. Because there are so many things we don not know, people are afraid. They are afraid of the unknown so they make it a happy thought and say a God was behind all this and he will send you to heaven if you are good.

not if people would actually do what it says for them to do. in there respective religions. but as in the christian bible book they have, it says that all that call upon the name of the lord will NOT be saved, only those that do my fathers will said jesus, but then they are told that anyone can call and be saved just by believing he lived, hell the devil knows he lived , that wont get the devil in heaven only thru the spirit of god, is the way to the truth and the light my friends,the spirit of god is what it is ALL ABOUT.

no, religion isn't a stupid idea; it's good from a government's point of view and all of that.

I'm afraid you have fallen into a trap...
