Religion, as practiced today, is most commonly a collection of propositions, entirely incompatible with rationality.

If religion fills certain needs (and in fact I won't argue that it does) we will find more constructive ways to fill those needs without lying to people.

If you really think that religion isn't about god, then honestly, I don't think we disagree that much -- I don't know why you're starting out with insults flying.
