Religion is a business.
It sells 'hope' to people with real problems. A load of fucking shite, it is.

We have a surprising number of religious scientists at work.
Some of them are christian-lite and are religious in name only. Strange thing is, the most religious chap we have never preaches, never turns a subject. He'll talk about it if you ask him, but never pushes it on us. On rare, rare occasions he can swear pretty well.

Mm, don't get me wrong, I DO have a problem with the whole thing
but I won't deny that there are religious people I know that are actually really nice people, that keep themselves to themselves.
I mean, if they want to believe all that, I say let them.

It certainly is.
1,000 years ago the Church owned 25% of England and it still owns a fair whack today, complete with tax breaks. The Vatican isn't poor either; probably richer than Italy is!
And all, as you say, by selling. As the old army saying goes: There are no atheists in foxholes.

I don't think there are anything but atheists in foxholes
Because if there really was a god looking after you, you wouldn't have ended up in a foxhole

I suppose a FoxGod should have treetrunk thighs and human tits
Although it should also have a big cock, so would need to be a pre-op tranny FoxGod. That's what foxes like.

I suppose we'd have to ask JJ what he thinks it looks like.
Or I'd have to draw it.
Also, one of the deities of Wicca is a furry.

go ahead and draw it
but remember it's a pre-op tranny with massive human tits.
I'll ask JJ if he's on later (although he will ignore me).

They all believe that He will protect them from the hounds of hell

Ah, but you are using logic.
It doesn't work like that. I'd be interested to see a study on how many people turned to religon after winning the lottery compared to how many turned to religon after being sentenced to death. I think I can guess the answer though.
