When I think about religion, I like to remember a phrase of author Terry Pratchet's: "thinking brain dog". (Like a seeing-eye dog)
​
I see religion as a way for lazy people to avoid thinking about hard subjects, and to avoid admitting ignorance. Religion gets a free pass because people don't want to give up their "thinking brain dog".
