Is religion the knowledge of good and evil?

Is religion the knowledge of good and evil?
If god exists, is religion the very thing that pisses him off so much? Does the fact that his fan club uses his name for the sake of their vanity anger him so?

If there is a God, a strict hands-off policy since the Big Bang seems the most likely explanation for where we find ourselves.

Thy will be done."
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

I think he might be too busy making intergalactic toast. That's what I would do if I was omnipotent.

Look at the world currently and Islam for a religion to claim they are peaceful they sure are not acting like it. Besides religion brings out the worst in humanity something that really needs to change or people just get sick and tired of made up stories.
Atheism is a non-prophet organization join today.

Full time Christians may be able to answer better, but I think in Christianlogic, religion is a consequence of the fall - once Adam and Eve had messed up, we in principle had the ability to tell good from bad, and there was no going back. We are all guilty anyways. And then we needed Christ to redeem us. But yeah, why the need for further instructions and commandments if we have "the skill"?
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
