I think that religion is something that could proxy for something in order to give people hope, but there's nothing about the support structure of religion that can not be achieved through a community, or a secular organisation. Ultimately I believe it'll lead to more problems than it solves, and infuses some people with a corrosive attitude.
Faith is delusion. If at any other point in one's life, one just takes anything on faith, and they turn out to be wrong, they're a fool, and if right, they are lucky, but both times they are scorned.
Accepting something without evidence is dangerous.

If you believe it, question it. If you question it, get an answer. If you have an answer, does that answer satisfy reality? Does it satisfy you? Probably not. For no one else will agree with you, not really.
