I don't see how The Force can be considered any less believable than an almighty power in the sky that sits back letting wars happen and people die.

I don't believe anything religious, looking at things in a logical way, and I know everyone is entitled to believe what they wish, but as a race we are too inteligent to need religion now.

Religion would have begun as a simple explanation for people who couldn't comprehend science. In some places it still happens; tribes in the amazon worship the sun, because they don't know what we know; they think it to be an almighty god, because they know no different.

We are now at the point where we can explain a lot of how our universe came to be, so why do we need to believe that an almighty power created it?
