On the contrary. It is insanity that has led to religion.
But religion was a by product of faith...not the other way around...and faith was a by-product of an evolutionry need...such as, something like; the need for children to believe and obey what they're parents say...for example. Children had faith in their parents....this faith over the years probably turned into faith in God which = religion....and since faith in parents (possibly, if not some equivalent)=evolutionary logical and that led to belief in God... Faith was most probably a logical by-product....but IT'S by-product - religion - wasn't....
So it probably goes something like this: Faith=logical evolutionary, yet delusional by-product=religion;
which is an illogical delusional by-product=insanity=more faith=more religion=more insanity=more faith=more religion=more insanity and so on and so on and so on and so on.
Thats probably close to what I believe right now...Might have explained it wrong... I dunno... thoughts?
