I think religion offers something to believers - it offers them brainwashing and god blanky which supposedly will shield believer in question from ills of the world. It's just delusion forced onto people; it may dull the pain of existence but in the end I deem it harmful cause it make one accept one lot in life by promising some wondrous afterlife. Religion is perfect excuse for not striving to make one life better.
The first revolt is against the supreme tyranny of theology, of the phantom of God. As long as we have a master in heaven, we will be slaves on earth.
