Comfort and Religion
From my reading of Nietzshe , I could conclude that he viewed religion as humans abiding to nature of comfort. He provides the idea that humans have projected a image of God for their immaterial misunderstanding of nature. Well let's take a part of Christianity, and observe the way a projectionist would look at God , and make a conclusion. So one of the main parts of Christianity is that God is the father. Now, from my understanding, a projectionist would stay that since certain qualities do not pertain with an actual human father that we have project the absent qualities upon an immaterial figure as God. So from their we can extrapolate the idea that God's only portrays values within ourselves so why object ourselves to an higher being when we have the power to fulfill those qualities, from this i think an projectionist can validate his argument from our virtuous nature and the idea that comfort is rational of religion. What do you think?

Yes, religion comforts by explaining things that people don't understand. It is a way of having "comfort" by believing God created all the wonders of nature because they don't understand the science, or that science hasn't yet gotten enough answers for some people. Usually God believers are skeptical of science, except for the more philosophical religions, like the Unitarians and such.
PS you should spell check your writing or have someone else proof it for you. There are lots of grammatical errors including the name of your town.
