So let's spitball; what does religion provide that logic day to day existence does not? What did those that existed two thousand years ago get from an unprovable fantasy? The mind or the ego wanted something; what?

Religion tells those who would be religion that they are not halfwits for being religious. There is no way logic would do that.
