> My working definition of religion is a system that produces easy answers to tough questions

Wow, this is really useful. It implies that people who believe in religions, are people who prefer to have an answer, even if it's wrong (even obviously so), rather than be in the ambigous and confusing limbo state of seeking for the correct answer.

Similar to how Nigerian Princes intentionally write bad grammar in order to target low-educated people who are more easily scammed.
