I look at religion in a more philosophical way: For example I consider myself a Catholic, but I do not believe in God. I look at religion the way that it simply (for the most part) teaches people good principles in life, values etc. Back in the day (dark dark ages) they could fool people into thinking that God exists and it may have even been necessary. And they can not rewrite religion into something without God and leave just those good principles. So I look at it as a token from the past
Additional though: "god" helps some people during tough times, it is good or even necessary for some weaker people to grab to that, I mean think that something is out there which gives them hope that something is looking out for the etc. So many of the people who "believe" in God may rationally understand that it does not exist, but they choose to "believe" in it as it may help them during tough times etc etc.
Just my 2 cents
