The majority of people are weak, and need something to hold on to.
They will willingly delude themselves into believing in something looking down on them, loving them always. They will believe that they will never die, but will live forever in eternal bliss.
It is a comfortable notion, no doubt about that.
For many people, the notion of living in a godless world is too depressing.
I have been thinking about this a lot. Would the world be a better place without religion?
"Religion is the opiate of the masses."
Perhaps this opiate is needed to encourage social order?
