Jim you are right, nature doesn't want us to do anything, however throughout recorded history the most successful human societies have shown a propensity for a belief in God. Since evolution is the result of successful adaptation, and religion is a tool which humans have ably used to achieve tremendous success, I think I want to see actual proof that humans as a species would be better off without religion before I would advocate disregarding God and religion.

Whether or not "religion" serves any real benefit to society or not has no bearing at all on whether or not its basis (existence of a supernatural being) is true. Are you suggesting that we live our lives under a complete falsehood just because it
may benefit some of those in society?
