Is religion a false sense of secruity for the 'afterlife'

trying to be on the fence here but i am struggling in England to see where religion fits into the modern world is it just to give people hope? is that what it ever was or was it to give people a place in society?

religion FTW!

I don't know what sense of "hope" can come from the worship of a bloodthirsty dictator who murders babies and has a jealous boyfriend complex, but for those who believe in that nonsense, sure, they find it preferable to facing the reality of their own mortality.

People are selfish by nature. They rarely do anything without incentive, and what better incentive than eternal life?

Side: it is just to give people hope

Religion does give people, hence, the attraction element is present.
