For me personally, I find all religions and philosophies to be Mara's bait. They are like a last appeal to 'us' not to take that extra step and to remain within a 'comfort zone' which can be comprehend and accepted by others around us. And who doesn't want that?

Yes, although I consider religion as a kind of [psychological?] need it has to be considered the "confort zone" aspect of this. Religions give us things that maybe we can't elaborate by ourselves like meanings or to overcome other needed things like rites and the [biological] urgency sense of belonging.
