Interesting point. Tbh there are religious people who follow religion like a drug and this gives them tunnel vision and also those who use it to big up their egos by thinking they are a better person coz they don't "sin". Personally I follow religion coz Pascal's Wager but I ain't really devout as I realise that religion has been used to divide and rule and much of modern 'religion' has been distorted from it's original form
