Is religion result of human's unconscious desires?

No. The fear of death is hardly subconscious. The religions of today consciously try to square the circle and make their Iron Age books agree with science or they deny science as an authority. This is open intellectual dishonesty.

Christian M:

Your non-sense defense of a deism that has no creeds and in the form you present it, can have no creeds is not designed to inspire confidence that you know what you are talking about. The trip you have to make to get from that bland unformed vague deism to a religion where God writes books and cares about what we do in our beds cannot be measured in light years. You have all your work to do and have more in common with us terrified atheists than you do with St. Peter in Acts. I dare you to try to draw, even a simple line from your ill-defined spirit world and any modern form of religion. It may be there in your head, but it is no where else.

Oh, and if it "can't be known by the rational mind" why do you bother to try to talk about it. Talking about something to another person implies that what you have to say will make sense (be rational) otherwise why not just smile knowingly and shut up.

Ignorance is definitely not Bliss or there would be a lot of people sitting at the right hand of God right now.

Science has already gotten a glimpse of the nature of creation and it appears that the mass of it is unseen and unmeasurable and the little 3% that can be seen and known by the senses is the smallest part of it.

Atheists that are so sure that what is unseen and cannot be known through the senses does not exist at all are content with the smallest part of the whole and that's where they intend to stay.

Religion is the mistaken ideas about what that aspect of reality is. When a soul awakens in spirit and experiences the unseen, which can only be known from within our selves, the rational mind takes hold of that and turns it into dogma and rites and mistaken ideas about the nature of reality. The underlying truth of a religion cannot be known by the rational mind or by the ego sense of self that is a false sense of self from which to measure reality. We are spirit and not flesh and there are thousands who have experience this. To deny that is just blindness and even cowardice.

No. The desire of the self to 1) explain things that it cannot explain opens the potential to use the idea of a God and miracles, and 2) the conscious desire of the self to minimize risk and fear creates the opportunity to believe in irrational ideas like eternal life.

But religion is far more than just trying to explain things in an unscientific naive manner or to minimize the fear of death. Religion is also a collection of ritualistic behaviors, caring for those who need aid, story telling, support of arts and music, and support of authoritarian hierarchies, and other social functions. In a correctly administrated religion beliefs are only a trivial part. And all of that is at a conscious level.

Yes actually. I think that's a pretty good way of putting it. (except you mean subconscious, not unconscious lol). I mean, there are other explanations and answers that people would give that are also right, but I think that it can all be basically boiled down to our subconscious desires to believe in the supernatural.

watch this video to see what I'm talking about: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iMmvu9eMrg

I think it started off as a pretty benign way for shepherds and farmers to explain the world around them. Like any other mythologies they all started as stories which were passed down from generation to generation gaining more exaggerations and feats.

Unfortunately, they have been taking as truth and any other rivaling explanations for things have not been without controversy. Its a shame people still follow the rudimentary explanations written by unintelligent people from thousands of years ago.

I don't believe that, no.

i think that people place many tags on religion simply because they are confused, and are unable to find a logical answer to it all.

This is just my opinion though.

religion in a nutshell is the result of ressentiment.

Basically, yes. Control of the masses.
