1. 有人於獨立思考/批判思考等方面天真及傻.
2. fear of punishment after death, and the reward after-life
3. 人的奴性以及依賴性萬年不變
4. 人從起初已經在尋求"神"
5. 社會的發展, 並未能填補人心靈的需要. 基督教的神卻提供了這方面的滿足.
6. 有人利用宗教上的權力企圖得到更多其他權力.

When an old man/woman talk to a child in a serious tone about something, evolution will have the child memorize it regardless of what it really is. It is an evolution adaption vital to survival that is hijacked. Orginally, this trait is an adaptation used to teach the young vital skill on survival.
In medievil time, the Church control most of the education facility of Europe. When America is "discovered"/"invaded", the Church ALSO control most of the education facility. When Australia is "discovered"/"invaded" the Church ALSO control most of the education facility. See a trend here? The Catholic Church is known to kidnap infidel children to be "taught" in their school.
Now. The Muslim country has a religious school that every children there must attend. They will need to memorize the Qur'an (a version of bible, really). The end result is a country of Muslim.
The Hindu lack such a system. Instead, the stuff is home taught. When the muslim invaded, the country nearly turn into a muslim country.
Budism? They also have school system controlled. Check out Chinese or Japanese history. Fortunately (unfortinately if you are a Budhist), the grip is comparatively loose for this religion.

Here is some experiment I heard concerning religion
In experiement, pigeaon has been conditioned to develope a religion for turning their neck by mere suspicion. (A religion of turning its' neck)
Janpanese monkeys has been conditioned to wash their fruit without knowing the reason behinf it. (Hence a religion of washing everything they eat)
Some pacific islander have also been conditioned to believe Prince Charles is a God (accidentally by American GI). If I am not mistaken, the religion is still there on the island. Show you how difficult it is to correct the message, once the "noise" is mixed into it.
------------------
Think of religion like a virus (good or bad), in Dawkins word, like a meme.
I think it can be added to your reason as a scientific view of how it spreads.
7. It is a by-product of evolution. A misfiring, just like people who masterbrate when nature is really interested in reproduction. (or people who are on opium, when the evolution of the pleasure system is intended for something totally different - like feed yourself!)
