Do you realize you've never met Franklin and yet you understand the simple working of electricity, or that you never were properly introduced or saw Alexander Grahm Bell on Tv but recognise the telephone?
I mean, personally, I'm ignostic so I'm not trying to defend religion in any sense because it's very pure origins have been so obscured throughout the years that now it's no more than a cult, or right of passage for the sake of convience. But the thing that keeps me ignostic aposed to athiest is that which is unknown. I mean, like the examples above, we never met or saw the majority of these people anymore believably than we saw images of Jesus... Through painting and through completed works. When invention are created, often they are denied their rightful respect until it's aplication is dubbed useful... But with religion there are more individualist views on what is to be considered "useful."
Religion is what you make it, there is an inate sense of comfort or nothingness from religion, and depending on your stance that is where your opinions will fall. But I don't see purpose in attacking a religion. The mind is a powerful thing, and if you believe so thoroughly in something than it's essance is there. Religion is much similar to anxiety, it's all in your head. If you believe or have an axiety dissorder than you think symptoms to the point of hypochondria... Where you truly feel the ailments. Religion follows a similar pretense.
Make it what you want.
