That trust is easily found when dealing with other people with shared beliefs and values and ancestry . Further, it is a natural human trait to trust and feel more comfortable with similar people than dissimilar. Even infants have been proven prefer their own language and their own race to others after just a few days of birth.
Also, I do understand the purpose of religion. As I said before...... "CONTROL!!!"
You explained it in your post.

So.... As Loki said in the Avenger's. "Humans don't want to be free. They long to be controlled." Paraphrasing here.

One less god!!!
I contend that we are both an atheist. I just belive in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.
