Even if theism is a failure, it's still superior to atheism

RE: Even if theism is a failure, it's still superior to atheism
Boru beat me to the punch on the second, upon which I'll simply elaborate that your caricature of human nature and the value of women to men is simply erroneous. Evolution desires not just that men and women have sex but that they also conspire to create an environment where the long maturing animals that our children are may prosper. Evolution isn't about sex. It's about differential survival. You simply show yourself once again to babble profusely about things you lack the intelligence or education to speak competently about.

As to the first, even if your speculations are valid, and I don't think they are, then religion becomes nothing more than yet another inauthentic passtime which the religious use to frenetically avoid the fact of their own mortality. Why you think the illusions of religion are superior to any other illusion used to forestall this moment of crisis that you postulate you leave unanswered. As is well known, it doesn't appear to be working for a great many people, as evidenced by the growing body of 'nones' and the fact that religious population numbers seem to only highlight religion when the religious are outbreeding the nonreligious, rather than any success as a distractional strategy in and of itself. Where birth rates are controlled for, religion appears to be the inferior solution to this 'problem'.
