Just my opinion, but I think rather than provide actual answers, religion tends to try and make you feel happy not knowing the truth. At least atheists/agnostics put their hands up and say "Okay, we don't know about this stuff, so let's go out there and try to understand!", whereas religions like Christianity go "You don't understand X? God did it." but now that's turned into a God of the Gaps.

Religion isn't necessarily a bad thing. I certainly think everyone should be allowed to believe what they want, although I believe that a religious state is the worst one possible, Secular is the ideal type of state, fair to all. I just think that a lot of religious people, in a way, by accepting religions like Christianity or Islam, close their minds to the facts of what ACTUALLY happened, and just content themselves with the lie that God did it..
