The Motive for the Crime of Blind Faith

While not claiming originality, I think these are the 3 most obvious motives for the maintenance of religious superstition, in no particular order.

1.It numbs the fear of death (heaven)(eternal life).
2.It removes personal responsibility (Eve cursed us all) (devil made me do it) (pre-destiny)(my sins have been washed away by Jesus' blood,..WTF?).
3.It provides easy answers to big questions for lazy philosophers (it's god's will) (god works in mysterious ways).
