Religion address a few things.
1) human emotions. Many of them. "hope" is a valid one. Emotional connections to their surroundings is another. "I love my pet". I am thankful to be here.
2) self vigilance. We need a way to police ourselves and focused on the "good" things being human has to offer. To help us "not steal" that piece of gum.
Sure, we don't have to believe in a bearded guy in the sky. But to ignore these uses is to totally ignorant of the human ape and what it is.
Of all the religions, besides Islam, atheists is the least able to help people. Now they want a atheist chaplain for soldiers in the army. I am embarrassed to have to defend these types of fellow atheists.
