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.

I know you're trolling, and I give it six out of ten, maybe subtracting one for posting this shit here instead of in /sci/.  That having been said:

The proof for science is the scientific method, kid.

1, observe the natural world
2, devise a testable hypothesis about some aspect of it
3, carry out an experiment to test the hypothesis
4, guided by what we learned in 3, go back to 1

Religion demands faith.  Science requires only that you see for yourself.
