We all have to develop mechanisms to cope with unanswered questions. Rational inquiry is the most difficult, the most demanding, because it forces you to question everything eventually. Religion gives answers to tired, confused, and scared minds to help people ignore the big unanswered questions. Unfortunately religion pools together the people who are satisfied with unsupported answers and hands their control over to small group of humans, each with their own psychological baggage. Let time pass and allow scared parents to teach their fears and accompanying delusions to their children, let the culture make a copy of a copy of a copy of the belief system and forget entirely that there are important questions being ignored under that belief, and you have a fertile bed for tyranny, hate, and war, epoch after epoch.
