I don't think calling religion a symptom is fair. I think it is it's own kind of virus that infects people who don't have the tools to withstand it... And misery/trauma provides the blow that weakens people and makes them susceptible.

Staph doesn't kill healthy people, but it sure as shit fucks up people who have other ailments.

Vulnerability is the symptom of trauma and pain. Religion exploits that.
