Perhaps you're referring to the resistance you so frequently encounter when you when you beat science against the anvil of your inner "rishi" in an attempt to shore up one of your non-points? That a propensity for religion may provide us with a survival advantage in one scenario (debatable) in no way validates it's existence given it's disadvantages in another (rock fucking solid). The glaringly obvious difference between religion, and say a smilodons teeth, is that we have a choice in the matter. Something which you so blissfully ignore, again because it would erode the foundations of your non-points.
Please suggest ways in which religion might confer a survival advantage beyond the advantage of strength in numbers, which is not limited to human beings, or even within human beings limited to the religious. Please show that religion predates our becoming a social species. Again, it isn't our responsibility to prove your inane ramblings incorrect, it is upon you to provide evidence of their accuracy.
