My own beliefs about religion are that it came to be partly as a way of 'binning' 'unsolvable' problems out of the way and also as a way of helping people be less bad to each other.

The trouble starts when you mix different (or groups without) religions; the defect in the meme shows ugly results such as the crusades, etc.

It also gives you some way to try to grasp the transcendent and provide meaning to your life. Those things are hard to replace with better science for the hard problems and better ethics/government for the behavior issues.
