Religion exists as an avenue for people to explain things they cannot explain any other way with absolute certainty. Not having a religion you accept that things cannot be explained at this point in time with the information we have now and the technology we have to collect information. How is either way worse than the other? Yes, some people use religion as a tool to persuade people to do their bidding in evil and maniacal ways. People use science in the same way. Why can't you just accept the fact that religion is here to stay, whether it be in the form of Christianity or praying to the sun?
