Mind you I do think any system that allows one to abdicate personal responsibility and blame others for their failures and magic for their sucesses may be helpful to some folk who cant be bothered to study the history and seek evidence of the realities both good and bad and moreover what is indeed the truth.
Interestingly Western religions find their basis in astronomy or rather astrology starting first with observing the Sun stars and planets and personifying their behavior to create various human gods.
But dont believe me study the history of religion and perhaps build such decisions of what is valid or not on the available evidence rather than faith...I find the subject particularly interesting and think it is a shame we should not discuss it here as I am sure even though everyone has different ideas we could discuss it sensibly.
