Ok, I'm not religious
but I know that it can bring comfort and happiness to some people. What the fuck is wrong with that?
The only religious people I get angry at are those who use it as a weapon, as in this case, or those who try to force it on other people.

Bear in mind here that I'm a bit of a twat about religion
What's wrong with religion bringing comfort and happiness to some people is the massive number of evils committed in its name which far outweigh these small comforts. Add in that this comfort and happiness would come just as easily from a close, supportive social circle without the tie of religion, and I really don't see any reason for its continued existence.

It's to stop the little people stepping out of line.

It's terrible that people
use religion as an excuse for horrific acts of violence and such. But it's those people that I'd blame, not the religion itself.

Why?
If the religion (as they believed it) were true, they'd be doing exactly the right thing.
