1. Do you think religion serves a purpose, if so what is this purpose?
It has served and continues to serve many purposes that run the full spectrum of human activity and intentions.
2. Do you think that religion lets poorer people down?
I don't think we need religion to do that.
3. Do you think religion will ever 'die out'?
Related to #1. If we ever take a look around and come to the conclusion that the things we feel religion offers are better sourced elsewhere, sure. Let's not forget that religion has "died out", many times.
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?
Suppose it depends on which angle you approach that. It matters to me, sure. Obviously it doesn't matter to everyone,lol.
