I agree religion can be a pain in the ass, but at the root of religiosity is the true root of all evil...people. Humans are arrogant, selfish, self important and just plain nasty when they want to be. I'm no exception. When my wife and I went for counciling a few years back, we had to take the MMPI or Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory...a standard questionaire that is used by shrinks the world over....shrink said my test indicated that i have a huge ego.
