In such a case religion wouldn't be superstition about nothing, but misinformation about a hidden advanced science, a science so advanced as to be known to almost nobody. In such a case one could be tempted to say that religion is a placebo which brings some not illusions, but a real cure. What if religion is a blueprint and analogy of something happening at a higher dimension the sincere practice of which allows an occasional transformation of the mind. Such a scenario might be quite possible if there is actually nothing wrong with people but a feeling there is. All that would be necessary is to somehow loose that feeling.
But then again, who would ever imagine there could be something wrong with them. That would simply be impossible. Surely you would feel it if it were true, right?
