Magic is on the button - it's about faith.

I guess the other main factor is that religion has been established for far longer than science has had to 'fight' it (poor choice of words, couldn't think of a better one).

The burden of proof therefore lies with science as the theological argument is the one to beat. Blind faith doesn't work for me, I need to see things or their effects before I'll believe.

As for the killing - people are intolerant but don't like to either think or admit they are. Accordingly, they'll use any excuse. Religion is a good one because of the faith angle - you can't very well dispute it if a man says God has told him to wage holy war on whoever. We can laugh at him, maybe even think he's crazy, but cannot prove God didn't speak to him.

Bundy blamed violent porn as I recall - it's all ass gravy.

Religion is the opium of the people.... as some beardy guy said (paraphrased)
