If God does not exist, then praying and worship is a waste of time, and therefore an evolutionary disadvantage. However, we observe that most humans are religious. So, logically, God must exist.

>>35 Those who are pious recieve the blessings of the Catholic church. Those who refuse to believe are burned at the stake. Therefore, being religious was an adaptation to the environment.
You are assuming that the trait of being religious evolved in a religious society. It's a circular argument.
