>>>Let's adopt as a null hypothesis that religion is based on a false belief that a supernatural divinity exists, and that religion is, therefore, a waste of energy and resources.........We would then expect to be able to search history for a people that were able to thrive by abandoning such false and childish thinking.<<<


Sounds like you're equating religious faith with deep thoughts on the origin of the universe, man and life in general. If you understand and appreciate the complexity of the universe you have to believe in religion or your thought process is "false" and "childish"? By that logic the smartest most insightful people in the world should be occupying the US bible belt and all the retards would be on the west coast and the in the northeast. I don't see much evidence of that being the case but you do?
