Some opinions about religion in a reddit dialogue was amusing.
1) In olden days when people did not understand many events happening around them, they attributed everything to God and that gave birth to religion
2) Poverty and religion are interlinked. For those people whose life sucks, religion makes their lives tolerable by telling them that there is a hope for them; if not now, at least in after-life
3) Some quote "Religion is accepted as true by fools, as false by wise and as useful by rulers"
4) Religion was used to exploit many ignorant people and is still being used.
5) A crucial point - religion makes people better by preaching things like love thy neighbor, paropakarartham idam shareeram, and when people help others, are kind to others, they feel good about themselves.
I think that reddit was little old; because there was no mention of how religion is turning people violent in the context of terrorism which is killing so many innocent victims all around the world.
