 Religion is kind of tool. How it is used, depends on the person who is working with it. Some people use it to bring fear and to control. Some use it to help others and serve community. For some it gives them identity.

But do we really need religion? Do we need such primitive thinking where same thing can be interpreted by each person differently. Some will use pick and choose idealogy.

When people have unasnwered question, some people try to answer it without logic..thats how religion is born. It tells you not to ask to many question and just trust whatever it says.

People don't need religion to good things. There is no ulterior motive or perks of heaven when people do good things, they do good things becoz they feel that is right thing to do.

When people have ability to rationalize and free of fear, most people will turn away from religion and see how so many people use it for their advantage.

I see no place for no religion on today's world. As we discover more of the world, we find people from all over the world living together. It makes no sense when people push such primitive idealogy and try to force it on others.

when we ask simple question to believers "Why are you Hindu, Muslim or christian?"

Well my parents was...so..... Or I met this person and he introduced me to....

Stop the indoctrination and search for your own answer. That is what most atheist or agnostic people would answer.

 If you go through most religious books, without bias, you will clearly see so much BS with it. Just for sake of identity some people will try to find logic to explain it. But once people become aware, people will start asking question.
