When someone hears voices in the head, it's a health problem, and has treatment for it. These people see things, normal people can't see; they talk to those invisible entities. In old days, such experiences were thought to the communication with God or some higher power. So, religion may have come from mental illness. I believe too much influence of religion could cause mental illness. That may explain why ultra-religious people sometimes behave like borderline insane person.
Good thing is – the entire human society is now integrated through the cyber world, where religion is being dissected, confronted, and challenged constantly. The so called religious practices, once considered sacred, are being challenged by the young generation, meaning religion is becoming a dying creed. Religion, being a creation of human imagination, can never win over the almighty natural progress. That's the hope all freethinkers should keep alive.
