God or any god at all is just another fad. Different god's arise in different parts of time. Pretty much explains why once the well worshiped Zeus, Athena, and other Greek Gods have all been forgotten(Unworshiped).
People who worship any deity today just need something to lay(Comfort zone, and the ability to forget mistakes made) on while they cant figure out what to do with their life or parts of their life. Any type of luck, chance, or miracle is based on probability, and for that unexpected discovery you make WE are hardwired to satisfy our question w/ a "simple answer". Pointing out that your "GOD" was the answer to your prayers, while really if you didnt settle w/ such a simple input and made a further investigation your answers could be answered with a logical sense.
Hypothetical Ex. Let's take the simplest base of human life today. A tribe of less than 100 people in an undiscovered location, praise a silver spoon that feel from the sky. They worship this spoon, and provided a ceremony to worship it's presence. A few days later rain falls continuously and their land is nourished, all hail the almighty silver spoon.
Religion can also be used as a way of controlling the mass.
Ex. King Henry the VII used the Holy Bible in the late 1480's to control the rule of the people of England from riots and violence.
I like how people are quoting from the bible, when the bible it self is re-written every year to adapt of our newly discoveries and developments. < Pretty much makes the perfect scam.
Unfortunately I come from a family full of catholics. I have read the bible many times, and I come to one conclusion and it is that I could do the exact same thing, and write a bullshit/REASONABLE story and say "GOD" came forth to me and we need to make these changes. Would you believe me?
Ex. The 10 Commandments - After Moses destroyed the tablets inscribed by God, he made Moses write new ones, just like the ones he had written himself. Although the original tablet was said to be broken, Oh let me write what someone else had written, but I can't provide the original. Just trust me on this... HAHAH
Religion to me is a joke. Usually followed by idiots(Referred to OP) in simple terms, but every one has their own opinion, which is also why our society will never dominate world peace due to the fact my God is better than your God.
BTW if you going to make an argument against my statement, please provide FACTS and not what someone else said
