I don't think the concept of 'bogus' in meaning fake or invented, is the whole story at all with religion. It is very real and IMHO was invented as an elaborate form of controlling the population. They invented a 'deity' and fear of that deity made the population obey laws and tenets allegedly pertaining to that 'religion' even though it was a lie that the laws came direct from that deity through one of two methods.
1. From the book (bible)
2. From the hierarchy of priests who made up the 'laws' to both control the population and enrich themselves and their 'religious institution'.
it was a clever ruse perpetuated on society for millennia, and now, after the various revolutions of modern thought, is outdated since a rise of secular and political entities of 'crowd control'.

Toasted CheeseRight, it doesn;t have anything to do with you or the OP, so neither of you have the ability or right to dictate to me that it doesn't exist. It'sa pointless thing to argue about. Well, it's not throwaway since people adhere to it. This is incorrect. There is no civilization on the planet that is living only by universal code. We follow rules that are codified and enforced. While the list for sin is far smaller than any given justice system's rule of law, both are things implemented to control behavior within a certain societal structure. Both are standards. Granted the religious one is the higher one, but it's also the one that is voluntary.
