@Riverwolf007: that is a shallow take on religion. And it only addresses Christianity. Maybe your point of view is not the only one regarding why people are religious!
all religions give out afterlife prizes for behavior.
maybe it is as simple as mansions and streets of gold for the christians or young pussy for the muslims.
maybe it is more complex like being set free from the wheel of karma.
in the end your morality is bought and paid for which is no real morality at all.
the various religions have all the subtlety of if you are good in the store you can have candy on the way out.
real morality is doing good for those around you with no expectation of rewards.
religions fail in even the most basic purpose they are supposed to fulfill and you all ignore it because you may not get your payday.
i'm pretty sure "metaphysical whore" hits the nail right on the head here.
"all religions give out afterlife prizes for behavior."
Not all of them. Let's try to avoid ignorant generalizations here.
you are right. my bad.
i'm a bit surprised anyone here knows about the three out of 400,000 that have no afterlife but cool.
i didn't expect a big falun gongism and epicureanism crowd.
