To find the truth.
There are too many mutually exclusive religions for that to stand. Religion does not seek truth, but answers. The accurac yof the answers do not matter in religion, only that they are answers people want to hear or that require no further thought. That is why we hjave always seen the gods of the gaps.
See above.To find true peace and joy in this life and the life to come
Only in your religion.. To recieve the blessings God has in store for us but which arae conditional upon some action on our part.
To become the people we are destined to be.
Only in religions that believe in predestination (and therefore no free will, no sin, no salvation, and no Christ).
None of what you said applies to religion and only some of it applies to Christianity.

What is it that religions fulfills and what purpose does it serve??
Ultimately religion exists at all because of a question which perhaps can never be answered by humans on earth, of which science is futile.
Will life continue after death, does soul exist?
You need faith for a "yes", or you need the same amount of faith for a "no". Scientifically the answer is "I don't know" yet it doesn't seem to be an option you can keep in your life time. Even when you consciously say that "I don't care about my life at all", your sub-consciousness may have already picked a "no" for you.
It is a faith question demanding a faith answer for everyone to go through in his/her life span, and make a decision.
Christianity best addressed this question to say that "Your soul can be saved by faith in Jesus Christ".
A faith question?? I guess my issue is why have faith in something that is not provable, in fact can be proven to be incorrect.. I have faith so every Sunday I go to church to listen to some moron spit into a microphone and wave a book around.. And then I am going to give him some of my hard earned cash.. I am going to listen to some moron tell me how horrible I am and how I am a sinner and fall short of the glory of god.. I am then going to pay this moron for insulting me and my family.. Despite the fact that in Christs own words, he tells us not to judge.. So?? Faith is paying some moron to sin??
I guess what is baffeling to me is that, for whatever reason. Religious people have faith in god, but not in humanity?? God created humans.. Why not have faith in them?
Is faith really spending the one life, you know to exist worshiping a questionalble god and book, all so you might have a chance at a life you have no evidence does exist??
Seems to me faith in god is a waste of life..
Why do we or you need religion??

Another thread in this forum about when did we make the choice about religion.. Kinda got me thinking about the bigger question.. Why do we have it and do we still need it??
I can only answer for myself and as I am sure most of you know, I am not religions.. I am not one that I would say needs a religion.. Science for me has explained much of the previous unknowns.. For instance, we all know that the Sun and Moon are not gods.. We know what an eclipse is and can predict them.. We know what astroids are and we know how the weather works..
There are not really in serious mysteries for mankind.. Nothing that religions really fills in for.. So why do we have it?? Why do we need it??
What is it that religions fulfills and what purpose does it serve??
Do we as a people need it to survive or do you personally need it?? If so why??

Why do the ANTI RELIGIOUS NEED to attack religion? And the peole that practice it?
Pretty simple concept, if you do not believe why do you have this unquenchable NEED to start threads attacking people that do BELIEVE?
Honest, my belief is not effected by someone else's belief or non belief. I have no need to belittle or attack non believers to justify my belief.
