To summarize, religion is part of human nature.
Yes. And with the most antic definition of those who have invented
science, *including* theology, we can say that computer science
confirms and generalizes this: all self-referential machines develop
religion, and they will all develop a belief in a non rationally
justifiable truth. That is both a grandeur and a weakness, and they
can fall in the trap of naming or describing too much literally such
belief.
<snip> (I snip when I agree and don't need to comment).
Atheists are very like creationists in their way to pretend that
science is on their side, and that is the worst authoritative argument
ever. Science, by its very nature, is and will remain forever
agnostic, be it on physical universes or Gods.

Actually, almost everyone in the history of humanity has thought that
99.99% of all religions are silly, and that they were fortuitously
born into the 0.01% that wasn't. Atheists take it a bit further and
think that 100% of all religions are silly. Agnostics, if they are
consistent, say that it is possible that the archangel gabriel
dictated the Quran to Muhammad just as it is possible that Santa
Claus
and his helpers construct toys for the world's children at the North
Pole.
