Religion is a crutch for people not strong enough to stand up to the unknown without help.

Interesting accusation directed at me (among others), there, Aylee.

Do you stand by the quote, or is it just submitted as a point of potential interest?

Health,
al-Aswad.

Farcical. Because farce is spelled with a c not a s.

Religions help create a cohesive community with rules that protect the community. They can provide education and understanding. Most of all, they seek to answer the question that burns in human hearts - is this all there is.
Belief requires a leap of faith. I'm sorry for people who can't believe in things they can't see. Because being human involves things you can't see; things such as love, hope, plans, desires.

I agree that your poll is flawed.

If religion comforts you and brings you some sort of peace, then it's a good thing.. it's not 'my' thing, but it's still a good thing.

I believe religion has a purpose but it is different to everybody. For me my beliefs help me become more aware of the world around me.
