Yes, it seems that way mostly. Haha! Nicely said, excuse me whilst I part the Red Sea...
But Religion seems to be a tool for some reasons. I had a debate with someone the other day, saying Religion is a positive tool, I'm not so sure about that. A Positive tool as in the Ten Commandments -- without it, life would be chaos...but surely we can abolish Religion - but, most simple-minded people won't, unfortunately...that's just what my challenger stated anyways.

Now, if you want to create legions of mindless obedient sheep who'll willingly hand over their live savings to further your cause, religion can be quite useful indeed, but to be fair, the whole "god" aspect is unnecessarily redundant to achieving this end, writing a load of Harry Potter novels seems to have the same effect.
I may be lying in the gutter, but I'm staring at the stars.
