i dont believe in God or religon but i do see the value of it. some people need guidance and asnwers to the unknown. some peoples lives would be in shambles if they didnt have their faith. religon serves its purpose.

That seems a very culture-bound claim. Why are there so few people like that in other western countries? Sure, religion acts as a crutch but other cultures seem to have citizens that avoid shambling even with a realistic worldview. "If you only tool is a hammer, all problems look like a nail." captures what happens in american culture where religion is the 'recommended' personal assistant.

Am I overreading what you're stating?
