I did what i usually do in posts as long as that and break it all up into segments. That way it is a lot easier to read and make sense of.
First of all, welcome to the forum Nobelives. Yes, to a very large extent I agree with what you are saying. Most humans do have some form of need or belief in a force or personified deity to explain things they cant comprehend or to blame or give credit to when something happens (good harvest, praise the god of plentiful harvests. Volcano eruption? The god of the volcano is angry). That in itself doesn't make the existence of a deity no more true or false, but it helps people who don't know better to cope with the situations. The consequences stay the same. The only thing detrimental to such beliefs are that usually some kind of sacrifice is made, which at best is a waste of good food, or at worst the waste of human lives (think Maya and Aztek for instance).
Actions are through history dictated by forms of religion, or based on environmental circumstances, or because of colonial conquest. Usually a mixture of all of them. Sometimes the most horrific things are done under the disguise of religion, but had a much more political motive.
