Not everyone can cope with the idea of their own death and not everyone can live morally without a reward system. My god parents' kid went to prison for 7 years and came out "with religion" he is still unbalanced but now he has a kid and job which we were scared to death of him having a kid. If his religion is keeping him on a good path so be it. I will never tell him he is wrong to believe.

Some people need religion just like some people needs to commit crime. That doesn’t make religion tolerable any more than it makes crime tolerable.
