The reason religion is so powerful

[Angrboda]

The news is constantly filled with religious fundamentalists and religious leaders doing immoral things such as raping and killing children.

When was the last time you saw a headline that read, Man behaves immorally because of atheism?

I don't think news headlines are a good basis to make an argument. 99% of stuff we read about religious leaders doing bad stuff is complete hoax or exaggerations. And rumors like some religious leader commiting rape often have political motives to discredit him completely.
