what i think is, religion is a thing created by humans to make things make more sense. if we knew everything about the universe and didnt have questions about it religion would most likely not exist, also i think people want to believe in something. something to comfort them in times of need, something that they have hope in, something that is bigger than them, something that will never abandon them.
also this is in no way meant to be offensive to any type of religion, it is just me expressing my thoughts. please dont take this the wrong way.
