believing in supernatural forces, even though they have a possibility of being correct, is like flipping open a phonebook, putting your finger on a name, and guessing that is your biological father if you have doubt that you and your father are related
Pfft, that is the worst analogy I have ever heard!
So, what? Religion comes to down to doubting one thing(who your father is)... and... ummm... replacing it with another (obviously less likely, and completely random) alternative?
I don't think ANY belief can fall under the shadow of that explanation, as all true belief has some justification. This may not be a good justification, but it is present nonetheless.
