A use for religion?

Seeing as most proofs of religion are the books that quote it(I.e; not proof) ... it's safe to say it's all a load of crap

what is it's use? control seems to be the reason it's still here but that's not the reason for it... no thats just people scared of change in there ways or power/importance for most people are fundamentally "sheep" due to fear or laziness.

I was once asked if i was affraid of religion & that it might be the reason i object to it... which is not the case. I am affraid of how people can take it to be the true way of being so easily... citizens say it's true... who told them? a man told them... who told the man? "god" did... did anyone see this? no... then how do we know it's true? citizens wrote a book which the man uses as proof to teach other citizens... ... ... ? can i buy some crack off you?

The only reason i can see for this farce is the need to believe in something... for most folk are scared of being alone & thus need to feel some form of belonging, weak willed you might say... which would be fine if it werent for the assholes using it to control people to the way they wish things & not just make them feel secure.
