The fact that many people don't find the need for religion when they're content should tell us something about its utility.

A charge of ignorance from a guy who denies evolution, believes in a worldwide flood, and that a talking snake seduced the world's first female, among other ridiculous things? I suppose I should be moved by your comment somehow?

Now explain why so many are fought where religion is absent.
Money/power.
Funny, I don't remember claiming all wars were religiously motivated.

God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.

Do you have a specific post in mind where I make this claim?
Money/power.
Territory, political ideology.

Didn't say you did.

I think it's a good piece. The biggest question readers will have is "Who the hell is Thomas S. Monson?" so it's nice that the article explains who he is at the end. I'm sure many non-members will be confused when they read that because they thought the president of the LDS church was in prison.
