Why is religion so repugnant to some people

I tend to have sudden episodes, now and again, where things seem all too unreal. I'm looking at myself in the mirror thinking, "Who are you? Why do you look like that? Am I in control of myself? What is the point of all this? Is this real? Why doesn't anything make any sense?"

I feel myself losing my normal focus and sort of drifting about, as if nothing means anything any more. I look at words on a page and they are just weird symbols rather than having any meaning.

I usually snap out of it after a couple of minutes, as another of life's tedious interruptions demands my attention. Can anyone else relate to this? I do suffer from being extremely analytical, more so than I even want to be at times. I can't stop my mind from racing through things, before I seem to have made the concious decision to even give a fuck about the thing it's analyzing.
