Religion and religious worship is a practice in methodology, for the express purpose of some worldly/religious based reward. Meaning most people align themselves with religion so as to be in the social rewards program a given religion boasts.
Most people align with a religion because the society they live in makes life miserable for those who resist that alignment. The rest do so because they buy into the magic and superstition, and too many of those kind are willing to harm or kill others if the voices in their head say to go and do it.
Neither of these things provide benefits for society which outweigh the damage it does.
