Simple. Religion was created in order to exploit the human's natural desire to know "why am I here?", "where did I come from?" and "what happens when I die?" (and other things as well, essentially the "god of the gaps" argument to explain anything that isn't yet explained by science or understood by the person giving the argument) in the attempt to ensure that said human will do only good things. Very few people controlling a vast majority of them with the promise of the eternal reward of heaven and the eternal punishment of hell for those who don't obey.

(Heh, I didn't intend for this to get into a full argument - I was going to leave it alone after the last comment, but since it's not in the heated discussions section.... why not?)

I say again, this deals with God's existence... how?

Ok, some people use religion as an excuse to have an answer to everything, and others use it as a controlling factor. This offers nothing related to the existence of God. Even if those were to be true, it does not preclude the existence God... just that those people are using him as a means to an end.

Perhaps, you meant this as means of "proof" for religion being a mind control factor? Sorry, your statement is anything but proof. After all, people attribute Renguard to you, Crimson, yet that is false. (I shall call this the "Crimson of the Gap") Therefore Crimson, I am sorry to tell you, but you do not exist.
