It's me!  Smile

Everything we do gives a neuro-chemical feedback to our brain.  We get positive rewards in our in the form of neurotransmitters when we do something that pleases us much in the way that drugs release neurotransmitters into our brain to get high.  Receiving those "mind rewards" causes you to want to repeat what released those neurotransmitters, so that's why drug addicts continue to use.  Those positive neuro-chemical rewards can also come from religion and religious experiences, and the person becomes "addicted" to them.  The unconscious mind will then manipulate the consciousness to use the same type of reasoning a junkie will in order to get its next fix.

It's eerily similar, and it's not uncommon for people to use religion to give up drugs.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
