A cult that, despite best efforts, has spread wildly out of control.
The Romans tried to put down christianity when it was only a cult, but then their leader constantine made it their state religion and it spread like syphilis.

One of the most idiotic inventions known to man. The whole reason why religion was created in the first place was to try to explain the unexplainable or the unknown mainly due to what science couldn't explain at the time to make people feel more at ease when faced with the unanswerable. There are lots of people who think if it can't be explained then some higher power, force or being must have had to have done/did it and will take that as fact with hardly any or no evidence at all. The worst thing religion has done to mankind was cause religious wars. Countless of lives has been lost for something that most likely doesn't exist, is fictional and only real based on what the people of the religion say is true because they say it is with hardly any scientific evidence.
Priest: "How was the universe created?"
Scientist: "I don't know because we as humans don't possess the technology yet to come up with a correct answer to explain why and how the universe was created"
Priest: "of course science isn't going to figure out that question. you try to take something that can't be figured out scientifically only by religion and try to scientifically figure it out?"
Scientist: "well if it doesn't adhere to the laws of nature then it can't happen and doesn't exist. So how do you explain how the universe was created if you say science can't answer the question?"
Priest: "God created it."
Scientist: "Prove it!"

A cult until enough people join that doesn't necessarily, but may, include the idea of a fixed diety. A modern equivalent of this is known as Pop Culture, or Mainstream.
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John all lost their religion once they were forced to write about it by a king named James.

Something people decide to believe in not because they actually believe in it, but because the fear of going to hell.
guy1: I don't believe in god because it can never be prooven, and it's just a ridiculous story.
guy2: you're going to hell, but yeah its a ridiculous story in my opinion too. That is why I have a religion, so i will go to Heaven.

Religion is that something sadly tears the world apart. If it weren't for religion, world war two wouldn't have happened. There wouldn't such racism (mostly against gays). and many more unforunate events happened because of religion.
People need to realize that there is no god, and the whole idea of religion is stupid.
