For most of us religion is a belief not only in a supreme being or God but an organized group of people who worship in similar ways.

Religion as you find in Latin meaning `a good faith`, true it is. Only difference that some religion preaches blind faith. In fact, what is human, you better call them developing apes! You may not like it but it is true. Now , if you compare your self with ape physically and physical abilities, apes will prove more compatible to survive on this planet without any paraphernalia better than human( developing apes!). Religion, came to instill confidence in the mind of mankind, since he is most intelligent creature on the earth. This thoughts were advised by religious Gurus and further carried forward by their followers, to have more people to follow the path. That way it spread and formed different religious clans, groups. Think deeply no religion is better that humanity. All religion advocates that.
