I voted no.  While I personally think the idea of God is, honestly, downright stupid, that doesn't mean that if someone believes in God (or some other higher power(s)) they are stupid.  That is clearly not the case--there have obviously been many brilliant religious people throughout history.  The convictions of people who are sincerely religious are deeply felt.  I strongly disagree with them, but that doesn't necessarily mean I'm right and they're wrong.

While there definitely are certain people who are phonies and use religion for their own personal gain--for example, some televangelists--religion cannot be dismissed as a "scam."
