1) A lot of people just don't 'get' evolution. We're not an 'evolved form' of monkey- Monkey's are not striving to become human, nor are we related to them in a straight line. We have a common ancestor primate- a primate which is long since dead now. Here's an example: take the lemurs in Madagascar. Every species of Lemur on that island is evolved from a very early primate (earlier than the ones we are evolved from, based on the dog-like face), but every species is vastly different from one another, each living in different ways, eating different foods, making different sounds, etc.
2) It depends on the extremities. Ultra-orthodox of any religion is something I can't wrap my head around, but a lot of the time they don't socialize with the wider population, so meh. But with the majority of theists, I will judge you on your personality, not on your faith. If you are a retard it's because of YOU, not that you believe in god.
3) For me, there is most definitely, certainly, no afterlife. Once you are dead, you are gone.
4) To be a good person. I'm sorry, but if you need RELIGION to tell you to do humane things and act like a decent person, then you are completely misguided.
5) They MAY have existed.... or are just figments of imagination. Either way, they are/or are linked to powerful men who feared losing the people, so instilling fear in the guise of unquestionable law and order that suited.
