We all know how evolution works, it keeps the strongest alive, for an example of a disease, only the strong live.
I think there is another reason, or a bigger goal to be precise for evolution which is to maintain balance and promote life and growth. Life forms are changing continuously to adapt to new environment and circumstances to live, those who can not adapt or pose a threat on the balance are eliminated, for example dinausors, or the goats where man killed all the wolves around to protect them, they finished by dying because there is no enough food. Evloution is growth not only for species, but for the world and its balance. -balance by that term is a dynamic thing not a stable balance when it is attained it's the end, not at all.

I think that human beings are putting a huge threat on the planet and I think that religions are nature's way of getting rid of us. I know some of you may agree with me that religions are a disease that we should get rid of. The "problem" is that nature has created a creature that has a brain intelligent enough to dominate all other species. But that brain has also created gods and religions that enslaved them, restricted them from thinking, they were always in the way to stop human development. Countless wars were made by religion or fueled by religion, millions dead, countries doomed. That's nature's doing I think.
Even religion, they went through the process of natural selection, and not only the stongest religions survived and dominated, but they are also the deadliest and bloodiest: christianity and islam. There are PLENTY peaceful religions but they are forgottend or still exist in very small numbers.

If you see Australia, a place that has been isloated from the rest of the world for so long, and it contains MANY UNIQUE species that don't exist elsewhere. We know that humans existed in australia all along, but there is something different about them,bwhich is that native australians kept harmony with nature, they were PEACEFUL people and welcomed the dutch and eglish when they came, they only had passed on beliefs of spirituality that when someone dies he returns to nature and so on. They lived on hunting and had no understanding of territory and property until the english strarted cutting trees to make farms and killing the wildlife that natives relied on for living.

I think religion is a disease that we had so that not so that humans don't multiply that fast and damage all the ecosystem, it is a disease that the human got when he got his brain, tishe brain that is able to understand, create and control. Now humans have a better understanding of their world and its problems (I'm shocked that there are still people who don't believe in global warming, yea they're probably the most religious ones). And I also think that there is a challenge for humanity which is that if humanity wants to survive it has to get rid of all its religions. I think that religions are a virus that exists in people's minds until people are able to use their brains wisely and effeftively for the best of the planet, the proof is that once you try to think scientifically you'll realise how dumb the rituals are and find out that there is no place for god.

I know it's not obvious to make the correlation, it is just an observation.
