"I would urge you to consider the difference between faith or belief and religion."
I have done this Pippy I have been an atheist going on 15 years and have tried to view belief in god, faith in god, and religion in general from as many angles as possible. Most of the time though when I attack faith in god I am speaking about Christianity and the biblical god. I am aware that many have different religious beliefs and place their faith on whatever concept of god their religion teaches, but generally I see religion as just another humans way of coping. Many people have trouble coping with the many twists and turns that this life presents us as a species and individually. Why do bad things happen to good people? Is one of the most asked questions by religionists and non religionists alike.
Belief in god provides hope for people that are always looking for answers to lifes most pressing and seemingly confounding questions. It is comforting to know that there is a magical guy in the sky looking down upon us and that everything is in his hands. It helps many find hope when things seem hopeless no matter how false that hope may be, it serves its purpose by playing the part of a placebo.

There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition
