No! I started with the words "how about...". As for the "need" comments - if I, as an ordinary and unremarkable person, do not need religion, then it is not a biological or psychological requirement for other humans

Hmm! That's stretching it a little in some circumstances. I "believe" that unicorns, faeries and trolls do not exist, but I would say I am on pretty safe ground by saying that this is more than a belief, it is a fact. It is a small step to extend that to a deity. Long-standing, traditional religious belief does not make it any more valid than belief in a unicorn.
