Religion exists for reasons on individual and community level.

Reasons on individual level:
-a need to simplify complexity of life
-a need to find purpose of one's existance
-a need to rationalise bad things happening to a person

Reasons on communiy level:
-a way to control believers: socially, morally, economically, politically
-that's it really

I have observed this in believers and their leaders over and over again.

Exactly! I feel like believing that "something or someone" created the universe etc. is much easier than thinking it came out of "nothing". That's the most obvious reason to me at least.
I don't wanna make fun of Religion, it has its purpose, but I think that Religion is just completely obsolete in the 21st century, or slowly becomes at least.

There are so many bad things happening that are driven by Religion.
