I'm a little biased, as I'm a Christian. So I'm obviously going to say of course there's a point. However, we are all different, and are allowed our own beliefs and religions. Some people prefer not to follow any religion, and that's fine....some people devote their lives to religion. And that's fine too. I will say however, my beliefs come from gods word. And by following them, I've been able to live a good life. I'm not your adverage do-gooder...and I don't dress in Sunday best.. Infact to look at me, I don't look like a typical Christian. But because of my faith, I don't steal, I don't take drugs, I don't judge, I don't cause anyone any harm..I devote time to helping people get off drugs and alcohol, helping homeless, raise money for cancer charities and have an adopted child in Africa. So my religion has a point.
Answer:To the religious organizations religion is their business, it provides them with an income and a centralized source to wield their power from.
The employees of the religion make their living from the "faithful" and receive a fair amount of personal power and influence in their communitiesfrom their position.
To the members of a religion it gives them a unsupported belief or sense that maybe they aren't powerless in the face of natural disasters, that they are part of the in group, that they won't just vanish when they die.
To governments religions and their supporters are often seen as a convenient bloc of voters who can be used to further their goals.
