Why did so many people waste their lives for religion?

People are often easily led and want to fit in.

They don't always fit in my freezer, hence the chainsaw.

This is especially true if they have been raised in cultures which value conformity. I worked with Japanese tourists in Guam as a scuba instructor and sometimes I was blown away by how conformist they could be. One time, I had just picked up a van full of them from hotels. I parked the van in front of the dive shop I worked for beside a trailer filled with scuba tanks. The first one out of the van looked at the tanks and knocked one like he was knocking a door before heading into the shop. To my amazement, each of the others (there were at least 10 of them) did exactly the same thing! It was comical and a bit sad. 
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
