The point of religion wasn't for the theism and mythologies. It was a way to help keep the community together. However, nowadays, people have been using religion for other purposes, often unethical and the opposite of community building. It is the abuse of religious power that has prompted the aforementioned question from the OP. I don't have a problem with religion as long it is not forced upon the people. The problem with religion in the US is that it is.
