The purpose of "religion" is to attempt to reach up to God. Religion does not try to benefit mankind.

The bottom line of all man's religions is to be good enough to appease God.

Basically they are "works" based. If I do the right thing, say the right things, think the right things, act the right way then God will have to accept me into His heaven.

The problem with works based religions is, how much is good enough to appease a totally Holy and totally Righteous God?

Sadly all religions fail to benefit mankind.

But God did make a way for us to be acceptable to Him, and that way is through a relationship with His Son, Jesus Christ. The Bible says that God loved us so much the He gave His only Son, that whoever believed in Jesus would have everlasting life (John 3:16). Not works based but Faith based, faith in Jesus and His work for us on the cross. Accepting His work that was exactly what God wants. His righteousness in exchange for our sin. His perfect life for our imperfect lives.

Is religion necessary for mankind?

it depends... some may need one, as an ideal or a belief.... (religion may function as a Law too) some may not... because They think that it was a system and rule created by others to improve society... *in religion... crime and evil were banned right?* but, nowadays, many people misuse the power of Religion. for example... as a doctrine... or just a self-justification..... in my opinion, as long as you belief in yourself, and carry out good deeds and justice... There's no reason that we need religion... because, even an atheist can be kinder than those criminal with religion.... and, if you do good deeds in order to please GOD and enter heaven... I think it's very "business". why not doing good deeds not for GOD and religion? but to improve society and mankind instead? :D but, the most important thing is yourself.... Don't be affected by others or being doctrinized with other's belief... the choice is really up to yourself :D
