See, Yoav, i'm absolutely on your side when you say that religion is a dumb, outtadeted, hate monegring form of ritualistic cult that brings together retards who are afraid of reason and logic and find believeing in invisible people and silly afterlife theories more reassuring than scientifically proved facts. I also think that you're right when you mention that any form of relifgion gives money and power to manipulating hierarchs that pull on people's limited views of reality i order to get power.
But people, humans are a weak form of life that needs the iudea of a bigger design or a paternal entity in order to justify the world. They look at the beauty of the world and they need to build up a non-existing figure to justify it. They need made up rules, rituals and spells (or prayers) to feel less threatened. And they need to feel in the right.
As long as this stupid pastime keeps them occupied and focuses their natural instinct to kill each other in a way that we can set them apart and keep them closed in their churches while we develop serious stuff and progress, i'm ok with it.
Reason doesnt need them. We have survived and outdated them in the past and we will do it again. Let them worship their statues and feel superior. At least we have something to laugh at.
