No, I don't subscribe to that either. The reason why religion still exists is because people want to have some higher meaning. Because they can't deal with losing loved ones forever and because they want to be taken by the hand and have some kind of guidance. Most of all it exists, because religion offers the ultimate kind of life insurance.
