Klorophyll,
Just because religious faith can be comforting, useful, etc., does not mean that it is true. One hypothesis that I hold to is that religious faith persists in the Western World due to its being an aphrodisiac; this hypothesis, even if true, is difficult to test and may not even be falsifiable.
