I'm not arguing whether religion is a human institution, that's obvious. I'm saying that it has a special leverage to influence people; that it's human origins become obscured by the very nature of what it claims to be: a "voice from above" that directs human endeavor. Whether this is actually the case has no bearing on the perceptions of many people, namely those who adhere to the idea that religion is what it claims it is.
