Religion is used for many things. For some it's a way of bringing peace and harmony amongst people for others it's missused as an outlet for anger and represion and turned into an excuse for violence. The most usefull and true use of religion is to encourage spirituality and closeness to the creator of the universe who has given us life and in turn pay the creator back through knidness to it's other creations and praise to the almighty creator.

Religion can also simply help people getting through hard times such as unemployement family discorde or even addiction( I am a big beleiver in God playing a part in this). perhaps this is what Karl Marxs meant when he said "Religion is the opiate of the Masses."
