Religion is the end of the search for knowledge.
For many years the answer to any question about the nature of reality was 'God made it that way' and that was the end of it.
When people thought like that the world stagnated.
In order to progress, you need the constant questioning and testing of the scientific approach.
Science does not know all the answers probably will never know ALL the answers.
But long may the search continue.
Why are we here?
Millions of years of random events coupled with natural selection.
This knowledge does not diminish my life in any way and the knowledge that this life is all there is, makes it all the more precious.

You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
