Compare the symptoms of religion and drugs. [View all]

- Religion makes people happy and they want to be happy.

- In their desire to apply religion and be happy, some people are willing to make other people unhappy.

- In small doses, religion relaxes and inspires. If you over-dose, you freak out and you get paranoid and schizophrenic. There are abundant instances when too much religion has lead to deaths.

- The people who want religion witness that there is less and less religion going around. They witness that it's harder and harder to find religion in everyday-life. They witness that it gets harder and harder to gather the amount of religion they need. So, how do they react? They get angry and afraid at the thought of not getting enough religion. They demand more religion.
What happens if their demands for a sufficient amount of religion are not met?
What are some people willing to do to make sure that their demands are met?
What is more important to this kind of religious people than ensuring a supply of religion?
