No, fuck off.
Some people need to have religion to give them something to live for and to give them reason to do things.
Whether gods/angels/laser marmots actually exist is irrelevant. Believing in them gives people hope and makes them feel better.

Whereas the first thing they should believe in
is themselves. It's far too easy to have something else to blame.

Well | know that...
..the context it was in was you and a.n. other b3tan talking about doing terrible things to Mrs Trev, just angling for cheap laughs really.

It doesn't mean they're weak,
just that the other things they have (family/work/friends/drinking/whatever) don't fulfill them.

But why do they need it?
To fill a hole in their lives or to remove them from having to think about the true nature of existence?

Bit of both, I suppose.
When I was at school, I got shit from all directions every day, and if I hadn't been able to pray and actually believe that there was a God listening, I don't think I would have survived.
The only reason I'm an Atheist now is because I don't feel like I need to believe in a God anymore.
