1. Do you think religion serves a purpose, if so what is this purpose?
Religion DEFINES purpose. That's why it's there. The who, why questions.
2. Do you think that religion lets poorer people down?
Religion, as we embrace it, is FOR poor people, but it's actual if not contractual effect is the manipulation of the poor.
3. Do you think religion will ever 'die out'?
Blind materialism is our current world view. Religion may go the way of the dodo.
(kudo's to Kichie's point - people DO make a religion out of everything!)
4. Do you think it matters whether a particular religion is true or not and is it irrelevant as long as what you believe makes you happy?
No it has to be absolutely true or it's bollocks. No one can fool themselves to believe something they don't really. Does atheism make you happy? Are you happy not having thought some problems through?
