The way I see it, there is the left brain, and right brain. There are emotions/feelings/creativity, and there are facts/reason/ration.
I equate religion to art, music, poetry, dance... it is a means of expression in something felt/believed/inspiring.
It doesn't really matter, when it comes down to it, if that thing is real or not. It doesn't matter what form it takes. What matters is the meaning we draw from it and the effect it has on our lives
