I frequently have argued the superfluous nature of inserting a God or religion into explaining nature or morality like this: If there was one cure all for humanity that theists or religious people claim, then why is it every nation on the planet, both friend and foe alike, have both hospitals and prisons?
Scientific method explains why we socialize and why we group. Religion DOES provide social structure creating safety in numbers, but that false perception does not make their beliefs fact. The Ancient Egyptians were successful for over 3,000 years, but that did not make Ra, Osiris, Isis or Horus real.
