[Eukaryote]

Wow, my new thread is so awesome that sombody made a different thread just to advertise it!

 

[Bluemofia]

The meaning of life, Immortality as in life after death, Stability of the sheep-like masses of people, Morals to stop the sheep-like masses of people from causing chaos, Money, and the other option (control of the people and justification of actions.)

 

[Julian Delphiki]

Immortality after "death", for most of religious people its just transfer to better life and also, while here on earth it is comfort knowing that they are gonna exists forever. So, option that you missed is safety - i voted immortality.

I wish i could believe, only 30-50 years to go unless something unexpected happens. There is still time for few more games, thank <some supernatural being should go here>.

 

[Rhymes]

I,de say a reason for everything bad happening in their lives. If you look throughout the world, and throughout history, religion's strenght is directly proportionnal to how bad people's living conditions are.

 

[Guangxi]

The meaning of life; to unpleasant to face that there isn't one.
Immortality; fear of death. but not to worry: candyfloss clouds and winged men in dresses await. with harps!
An excuse to live; see meaning of life.
Money; i.e. televangelists.

 

[Technocactus]

They just want to enjoy life, as does everyone, and they will have their own way of going about it, depending on what does it for them.

 

[Perfection]

Religious people are generally after the same things nonreligious folk are after.

 

[nihilistic]

Where is the option for "Unless they come after me, I don't give a damn."?

Religious people are generally after the same things nonreligious folk are after.

I think the question is refering to what they're looking for in religion.

 

[puglover]

I'm in it for discovery. The truth reveals our purpose, and religion is a means to reach that truth.

They're in it for the unleavened bread, and for that I respect them.

Virgins man, virgins.

That and watching the young school girls take communion!

Well that too...

Then you better score them before college. A rather significant number of catholic school girls become crazed beasts once they leave catholic school.

 

[Eran of Arcadia]

Hmm, not at Notre Dame so very much . . .

I hear all sorts of stories my friend...

Earthly pleasures are just toooooo much.

 

[Truronian]

Religion gives people answers (even if they're not the correct ones), and answers are comforting.

 

[Narz]

Friendship with others mostly. People who are not exposed to religion thru others will not become religious.

That and because they want easy answers.

That's what I'm in it for.

The rest of them are in it because they love being told what to do and not thinking for themselves.
