WHY RELIGION?

In my opinion, religious faith meets some very basic human needs. 

First, you say that religious beliefs aren't based on reason. 

Then you give a list of basic human needs which are met by religion. (And I can think of a few more.)

If a person can get so many of his basic human needs met by religion, isn't it reasonable to be religious?
