The thing about religion is, it's kind of like a necessary evil. While millions have died in the name of it, how many would have died without it? People can NOT live together peacefully, it doesn't matter if there is religion or not they will find something to argue about and kill each other over.
Religion is the best place morals can come from. There has to be a master, which dictates what is ok behavior and what is not. Without a master, incorrect and correct behavior is up for debate. Laws are NOT good masters, what do you think people will be more afraid of: going to jail for a year? or spending the rest of eternity in a burning hot place?
You can't scientifically prove to me that it's wrong to kill another person. Common sense tells most of us that it is, but common sense is something that varies widely from person to person. Also if people aren't brainwashed and controlled, the id will kick in much more than it would were they afraid of the consequences of improper behavior (i.e. going to hell).

The fictional character of God was created to instill fear into the masses so that they would behave. The overwhelming population of Earth has been brainwashed by one form of God or another. Let them live in their fantasy world.
