I think religion is a group made up but I don't disrespect others thoughts.. Well many people say you can't eat something in their religion but people still eat it and then say "I am " " <(religion)"..

I think we can agree that religion is basicly a guidance for people to follow/believe in (tell me if you think I am wrong on this one)?
What I never understood was why some people of certain religion (can be any religion) fight against other religion cause of what is right and wrong, I mean.. most people are able to choose for themselves.
religion= war. sadbuttrue

^ I agree with this.
As far of all wars began because of religious reasons.
In my personal opinion, religions are okay, to use it to perfect yourself, like muslims don't drink or smoke and intend to learn and christianity stands for loyalty and behaviour.
I find it okay to find sorrow in "god" and to use him as your "friend" to talk to in need.
BUT.
I can't find the reason why you can't do that all without a religion, many of my friends stepped out of their parents religion, but life with the same standards.
I find religion unnecessary, but that's my opinion.
Extremist or not, it's no secret that religion has caused wars all over the world, not just wars that have passed but ongoing ones as well. It is not the only cause for war, we all know that. But I think you would lose the death counting number by far if you would take atheism vs religious based murder.
You say that religion has driven scientist to study the stars, earth and life itself if only to change the assumptions of the public? That would be pretty bold to say. Humans seek reasoning with everything they experience, especially in older times human took religion for an answer. I don't believe scientist were just driven to counter religion itself, they simply didn't believe it and must have felt the need to find out themselves why certain things would happen. Religion didn't create scientists, the human nature did.
religion did cause wars, but you can't say that the world would be a better place without religion. religion defines like 80% of human history, you cant assume that if you 'remove religion' our world will be the exact same but just without religion.
mankind would have found tons of other reasons to cause wars, some which could be much much worse than the religious wars we have right now.
if religion didnt exist, we would be 1000 years more technologically advanced.
