Rig, would you consider it evidence that throughout the entire history of modern man he has been a religious creature? Everywhere he has been he has left evidence that he worshipped something greater than himself. Idols, icons, pyramids, temples, music, scripture, grave markers, on and on, all evidence of a god.

So if religion or god or God is a delusion then perhaps Mankind is delusional from the get go. Or maybe you it's you, who is in a minority, that is delusional.

The fact that there are those who come along and deceive believers and manipulate them through their religious practices is NOT evidence that there is no God. That is only evidence that there are deceivers and gullible folks among us. If money is your religion what, then, is Bernie Madoff? If love is your religion what is the streetwalker? The examples are endless but it remains that there is a vast preponderance of evidence that people everywhere worship that which amounts to a supreme being.
