Why do religions exist?

Seriously, why the fuck do we still have monotheistic religions when now they are banning adopting for ALL couples who are not married in a state. They say this is to STOP THE GAY AGENDA LOL when they fail to realize many straight couples refuse to get married due to legal issues this may bring for the future.

Since when the fuck did America become the Christian Empire, and when the fuck can we expect this shithole country to go over and die for being fucking assholes? This shit pisses me the fuck off.

Why do religions exist?  Because people were acting like shits, and God came down one day and told people to stop acting like shits, and people actually listened to him.  God threw in a bunch of promises to sweeten the pot, and a bunch of flashy miracles to seal the deal, and BAM, religion.

Then God left, and everyone decided to act like shits again.

This is all rather well-documented.
