I think religion must have some evolutionary advantage for humans, because otherwise why would we keep practising it?

My theory on this is that God comes about through use of some word systems, and ours, has been lesser, and still is one of those systems; it's pretty advanced today and has an element of artistry to it; if we completely wiped out the mind of memories with some device (as in Men in Black), and removed all books, and then taught the language of today, the theory of God, if created, I think, wouldn't contend with other more advanced or artistic theories; people-power and the whole movement of religion is a huge thing; given a fair chance, it would just be another piece of art.
