Well...sorry to ruin a 'fun' thread with serious reasoning, but that's sorta what I do about some topics....

The question as to whether religion is 'rubbish' is not the same as "Is religion right?" or "Is religion useful?"....

I am NOT religious, but religion is important, as it is used (rightly, or wrongly) to give meaning & focus to many people's lives.

I would like to see us, as a race, move beyond the usual forms of religion and find purpose and meaning within ourselves, and discover that not all questions that need asking also need answers. This may or may NOT happen, but since we are barely peeking out from thousands of years of fear and superstition, religion will continue to be the easiest way for many to come to terms with mortality and and morality, and it will continue to be important forever as part of our history as humans.
