"reeks of man"... When I examine organized religion this is exactly what I come up with as well.
For me, once all the morality and rules are stripped away the true purpose of any religion is to answer the two questions to which we have no answer... where do we come from and what happens when we die.
The fear of death, or the unease that we feel when we think on death is universal. Religions provide answers and more importantly comfort in the face of this great unknown.
I am content in my faith that when I die, there will be nothing. Sure it's scary but it just makes a lot more sense to me than some concept of heaven, shoel (the Jewish afterlife), reincarnation, etc. Why make it more complicated than it need be?
