Oh, and religion *at it's core*

Would you need religion if you had the ability to be immortal?

Religion is only an organised and controlled group of people,
whose primary aim is to endure, and survive - it does this
by feeding it's followers it's own particular dogma and
rhetoric, it's so-called teachings.
Of course it has it's two faces - a face that it presents
to the public and it's followers, and another that is hidden -
the principles it really follows, which ensures that the
organisation survives and carries on.

Everyone as a matter of right (and of physicality) survives
death and dying, which is merely a transitional phase.
This means we don't need religion at all - but religion
needs it's followers (who are preyed upon) to survive.
Followers keep the organisation of religion going.

People being born on this planet, are not new souls -
but are merely old souls recycled, via reincarnation.
