Read the OP.

I don't agree that religion legitimately satisfies the need for hope in people. If it did, death wouldn't be something that the religious fear and try to avoid and put off with such great vigor, and one religion would be enough for everyone.

As far as censorship, it provides no useful censorship that most people don't learn early in life and often by other, more practical avenues.
