[Serious] What does religion have to offer?

[EgoDeath]

I was once a x-tian.
Since then I've been through some horrendous times and pulled through without needing religion. (I couldn't have done it without family though.)
Religion has only one thing left to offer me.
If my kid dies before me, there might be a chance I could get to see her again.
I hope I wouldn't be that stupid if it happened.
But, you know, it's probably better than death, which is what I would want in a world without her.

Interesting.

I think, as we've seen in this thread, that most things religion has to offer can be achieved without religion. It forces me to ask, what do people continue to use religion for? I think it's simply people lacking the knowledge that they can find satisfaction to these 'problems' elsewhere.
