I agree w/ your view on individual religion vs. happiness. Siding w/ the "monumental underdog" here is really just functional irrationality.

But I am still not convinced that the aggregate of religious organization is positive. Isn't race, religion, and language commonly used to dehumanize people and help convince people into war. The less you can relate to the "enemy" the easier it is to wipe them out.

Religion is also used as an excuse to oppose inconvenient knowledge.
